According to Politico, Ukraine will most likely receive promises from NATO countries to continue most of the aid the allies are already providing. In addition, it will be offered “a more permanent signal of unity” instead of a firm promise of membership.
In turn, the FT reports that the countries of the Alliance are preparing a declaration for the summit with individual commitments to Ukraine. These will focus on codifying existing military supplies and fixing future support. There will also be guarantees regarding the training of Ukrainian troops, the exchange of intelligence, and assistance in implementing defense reforms.
At the same time, the head of Ukrainian diplomacy, Dmytro Kuleba, after a conversation with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, said that the parties are working to ensure that the final decisions from the summit are a win-win for everyone: Ukraine, NATO, and global security. He also reported that NATO had agreed to remove the Membership Action Plan from Ukraine’s path, making it shorter.
