NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte wants the summit in the Netherlands on June 24-25 to be "short and meaningful." He hopes to prevent "an open disagreement about Ukraine, which overshadowed the meeting two years ago," writes The New York Times.
"But two things could complicate the upcoming event: President Trump, who is expected to attend, is at odds with allies over the future of Ukraine. And Ukraine itself is striving to join NATO — a result that Trump opposes," writes NYT.
The format of Zelensky's participation has not yet been determined, and it is also unclear whether he will be invited to the main dinner on the occasion of the opening.
At the same time, White House officials warned their European counterparts that a reduction in the number of American troops in Europe was inevitable. This will also be an important topic of discussion.
