Ukraine and Lithuania have held talks regarding the conclusion of a bilateral security agreement.

Ukraine’s President’s Office stated that the parties had identified key points and agreed on a schedule for working on the preparation of the bilateral security agreement. 

Ihor Zhovkva, Deputy Head of the President’s Office, conducted the latest round of talks.

"Our document will contain a number of provisions that we have managed to enshrine in such agreements for the first time," he said.
