According to a report, president Zelenskyy has expressed a desire to be formally invited to the nato summit in Vilnius, Lithuania to be held on Tuesday and Wednesday. Reportedly, by July 8 2023 twenty four out of thirty one member countries had declared their support for Ukraine’s membership bid. Reportedly, the biggest problem is the lack of consensus in the u.s. administration who don’t want to push Russia into a full scale war, Germany also will not commit to Ukraine’s membership. According to the report, both countries have been the biggest providers of military support to Ukraine. Reportedly, during the 2008 Bucharest summit, nato members agreed to allow Georgia and Ukraine to proceed with membership, four months later Russia invaded Georgia, and in 2014 annexed Crimea.
Reportedly, in this years summit 12,000 soldiers and air defence systems from Spain, Latvia and Germany will be present for security.
