Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy signed an agreement for a long-term security commitment with the European Union as western allies pledge to maintain military and political support for Kyiv.

The documents will formalize a raft of EU initiatives to support the war-torn nation, including arms deliveries, training Ukrainian troops, de-mining as well cooperation in tackling cyber and hybrid threats. No new pledges are expected from the 27-member bloc.
