The deal, which is not a mutual defence pact or military alliance, is the latest in a succession of such commitments signed between Ukraine and its key Western backers.

Finland and Kyiv on Wednesday signed a long-term agreement on security co-operation, during a visit by Finnish President Alexander Stubb to Kyiv.
Stubb also said Finland was delivering a 188 million-euro ($202 million) package of military aid, including air defence and heavy ammunition to Ukraine's army to help it "win this war".
Stubb said at a press conference in Kyiv, stressed that the latest package of support takes the total level of Finland's military aid to Ukraine to two billion euros since Russia invaded in February 2022.
He said; "We're not giving this military support only for Ukraine to defend itself. We're giving this military support for Ukraine to win this war."
Ukraine is facing ammunition shortages on the frontlines amid delays to crucial Western aid.
A $60 billion package has been held up in the US Congress since last year, while promised artillery shell deliveries by Europe are running months behind schedule.
