Zelensky Announces Important Agreements with International Partners on Defense and Reconstruction of Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in his annual address, unexpectedly revealed preparations for new strategic agreements with international partners aimed at strengthening the country’s defense capacity and accelerating the reconstruction of war-torn infrastructure. He emphasized that next week will be pivotal in implementing these treaties, which are designed to make Ukraine more resilient, secure, and capable of restoring territories affected by hostilities. The leader underlined that thanks to these new agreements, Ukraine will receive modern weapons, equipment, and financial support from allies, enabling Ukrainian troops to be better armed and more mobile in defending their homeland.

In anticipation of upcoming negotiations, several key international meetings are scheduled. On July 10-11, a reconstruction conference will take place in Rome, where government representatives and investment entities will discuss strategies for recovery and new opportunities for international aid. Additionally, on July 9, the European Court of Human Rights will deliver a verdict in the significant case of Ukraine and the Netherlands against Russia, concerning violations of human rights in the occupied territories of Donbas and during the war. During the British-French summit, a meeting of the so-called “Decisive Coalition” will occur, with Zelensky participating online from Rome to contribute to discussions on further international support for Ukraine.
