Ukraine and the United States may sign a security agreement before the NATO summit in Washington in July, but the Ukrainian side is focusing on Congress voting for the Ukraine aid package, as it is a matter of survival, Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olha Stefanishyna said in a comment to Ukrinform on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference when asked about the possible signing of the Ukraine-US agreement at the July NATO summit.

"Respective negotiations were held at the level of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Ihor Zhovkva. As you know, Andriy Yermak has been in contact with US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. That is, from a tactical point of view, the negotiations have been held, and the declaration has been strategically adopted. This decision can be made earlier," Stefanishyna said.

She said the Ukrainian side was now focusing on more urgent decisions that the Ukrainian people and Ukrainian soldiers need: "And security guarantees will definitely be signed."
