Kyiv says it hopes to get “concrete and significant results” after convening a meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council.
But diplomats and officials at NATO reportedly played down expectations of any significant results from Tuesday afternoon’s consultations at the alliance’s headquarters in Brussels.
The most expected is a repetition of NATO’s previous insistence that Moscow’s deployment of new weapons will not “deter NATO allies from supporting Ukraine.”
The meeting “provides an opportunity to discuss the current security situation in Ukraine and will include video briefings by Ukrainian officials,” the NATO representative said.
The escalation of tensions over Ukraine comes at a time when questions are being raised about the future support of the West after the re-election of Donald Trump in the United States, NATO’s main power.
Trump questioned Washington’s continued heavy military aid to Kiev and promised to quickly reach an agreement to end the war.
“I cannot imagine that it is in the interests of the United States to allow Putin to come out of these possible negotiations as a winner,” NATO’s top commander, Rob Bauer, said on Monday.
Addition
NATO and Ukraine created a joint council in 2023 that allows Kyiv to convene meetings with the alliance whenever it deems necessary.
