President Joe Biden and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a 10-year security agreement on Thursday – stating it’s a milestone in relations between their countries,
G7 leaders have also agreed to a $50 billion USD loan to help Ukraine in its conflict. Interest earned on profits from Russia’s frozen central bank assets would be used as collateral.
US Correspondent Dan Mitchinson told Heather du Plessis-Allan “President Zelenskyy seemed optimistic that his country would retain support from the Biden administration – or any administration.”
Mitchinson said “Joe Biden makes the commitment right now, but if he’s not re-elected in November, can that that be fulfilled?”
