In addition to the EU, Estonia and Lithuania have also concluded agreements with Ukraine on security cooperation and long-term support for the country attacked by Russia. On the margins of the EU summit in Brussels, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda signed the bilateral agreements with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi on Thursday. In these agreements, the two EU and NATO countries pledge to provide Ukraine with political, military and economic support for ten years. This means that all Baltic states have now made long-term security commitments to Ukraine. Latvia had already reached a similar agreement in April.

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are among the largest and most determined international advocates of Ukraine, which has been defending itself against the Russian war of aggression for almost two years.
