France, alongside other G7 members, is aiming to establish a compensation framework for damages suffered by Ukraine amid ongoing hostilities. The security agreement between Paris and Kyiv was published on the office portal of Ukraine’s president, Vladimir Zelensky.
The document states that participants will continue to collaborate primarily with the G7 and other partners to build a mechanism that addresses compensation for damage, losses, or injuries incurred.
As part of the pact, France is also pledged to assist Ukraine in countering information manipulation.
Earlier, Reuters reported that Kyiv could potentially mobilize up to $300 billion by issuing bonds backed by future claims against the Russian Federation for damages tied to its military operation.
On 16 February, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg asserted that lasting peace in Ukraine would require increasing arms shipments to Kyiv.
Politico also noted that he indicated, during a meeting of permanent representatives, broad EU backing for using European funds to purchase shells produced outside the bloc as an emergency step to aid Ukraine.
A former NATO soldier commented on what he described as the “restart” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
