Ukraine and Germany have signed an agreement on security guarantees, UP writes, citing Ukrainian Presidential Spokesman Serhiy Nikiforov.

Details of the agreement will be made public after a briefing by Volodymyr Zelenskyy and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The briefing will take place at around 12:45 in Berlin (13:45 in Kyiv).

Later, Scholz announced the signing of the agreement. Germany became the second country to sign a security agreement with Ukraine, after the UK was the first to do so in January.

"As long as it takes. Zelenskyy and I signed an agreement today on our long-term security commitments. A historic step. Germany will continue to support Ukraine against the Russian aggressor war," he assured.
