Details: According to the newspaper, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky was invited only to open dinner on Tuesday – without participation in key meetings.
Politico sources probably reported the absence of a meeting on Ukraine at the level of leaders, since the official program of the NATO website states that the working dinner of the Ukraine -NATO Council will be presented on June 24 at the level of foreign ministers under the chairman of the Deputy Secretary General.
According to Politico sources, Donald Trump expects only one major result from NATO leaders summit next week – it is about defense costs.
32 Alliance countries promise to significantly increase defense costs – up to 5% of GDP: 3.5% for “rigid” military needs and 1.5% more defensive efforts.
One official from an anonymity administration said that “they (European countries – ed.) Would never have agreed to 5%if it were not for Trump. So he (Donald Trump – ed.) See it as a great victory.”
Trump plans to speech on Wednesday after completing the summit to announce a new cost promise and his key role in this process.
