Albania’s Parliament has approved a bilateral agreement to enhance security cooperation and provide long-term support to Ukraine, marking a new phase in Tirana’s alignment with Kyiv amid ongoing regional instability.
A general view of the Albanian Parliament during Thursday’s plenary session showed lawmakers voting in favor of the “Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of Security and Long-Term Support” between Albania and Ukraine.
The decision, made on June 5, 2025, formalizes commitments to closer defense and strategic ties as Ukraine continues to resist Russia’s full-scale invasion.
The agreement outlines frameworks for collaboration in areas such as defense policy, intelligence sharing, cybersecurity, and humanitarian support.
It comes amid broader efforts within the EU and NATO to deepen ties with Kyiv and provide enduring assistance in its war effort and post-conflict reconstruction.
Albania, a NATO member since 2009, has consistently voiced support for Ukraine in international forums and provided humanitarian aid and military supplies since early 2022.
The newly approved deal signals a continued commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and stability.
