In his social media post, Yermak highlighted that the agreement under discussion goes beyond bilateral terms, including a European dimension of financial assistance. European allies have pledged to support the initiative as Ukraine pushes forward with its EU accession roadmap, including the opening of its first “cluster” of reforms.

The talks also addressed broader geopolitical coordination. Yermak stated that European officials relayed “positive signals” from the White House regarding impending sanctions on Russian oil exports and the enforcement of secondary tariffs. These measures are anticipated in response to the expiration of a 10-day deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump for Moscow to de-escalate military actions.

The Ukrainian official confirmed that his recent engagements with European advisors focused equally on defense and institutional alignment with the European Union. Ukraine’s ongoing accession process was a central theme, with preparations now underway for further integration steps.

The potential security pact with the U.S., coupled with EU backing, underscores Ukraine’s bid to formalize security guarantees while moving closer to Euro-Atlantic institutions. No timeline was provided for the finalization of the agreement, but officials suggested talks were at an advanced stage.
