NATO summit
The NATO summit was a great hope for Ukraine. But in the end, the country could not rejoice the way that they deserved and wanted to for so long. The Allies have once again declared their support for this war-torn country, and condemned the brutal Russian aggression. But… from Washington, President Zelensky has only taken away assurances that one day his country will become part of this Alliance. Although the promise of more weapons has also been made, and F-16 aircraft will arrive soon, Ukraine needed more than this. Most importantly, there is the commitment of financial support. Ukraine will receive 40 billion, but only the commitment for the following years will be completely missing.
- Ukraine was the main topic of the NATO summit in the USA: military and financial aid, as well as Ukraine’s membership in the Alliance, were discussed.
- The United States and other countries have pledged billions of euros in weapons, equipment, and training. This decision was supported by almost all member states. However, this only spans the following year.
- The final document states that Ukraine’s path to NATO is undeviating, and will happen. However, there was no further progress in the accession negotiations.
