Ulrich Bounat, geopolitical analyst and specialist in Central and Eastern Europe, is the guest of 12/13 info, Thursday February 15. He returns to the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Paris on Friday to sign a bilateral security agreement.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected in Paris on Friday February 16 to sign with his counterpart Emmanuel Macron a security agreement between France and Ukraine. “There is one that was signed with Great Britain a few weeks ago, and it is part of a more global framework which ultimately aims to provide security guarantees to Ukraine. Military security guarantees , but also guarantees of economic security, and guarantees of Ukraine’s integration into the Western family, whether the European Union or NATO, in the medium term”explains Ulrich Bounat, geopolitical analyst and specialist in Central and Eastern Europe, Thursday in 12/13 info.
“Mark the occasion politically”
While American aid to kyiv is still blocked in Congress, Ulrich Bounat indicates that he is “important for Volodymyr Zelensky to mark the occasion politically, and to be able to propose and demonstrate internationally, and in particular in Moscow, that indeed, (…) the Western camp remains united behind Ukraine”. This is all the more important because in Ukraine, “the military and all of society feel the shortcomings in terms of providing equipment on the ground”he adds.
