“On the sidelines of the summit, President Biden will hold an event with President Zelensky and approximately 20 of our allies and partners who have signed bilateral security agreements with Ukraine,” TASS quotes a US official as saying.
Let us remember that the NATO summit will be held from 9 to 11 July in Washington.
It is already known that during the meeting the members of the alliance will agree on a new package of military assistance to Ukraine. The Secretary General of the Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, also expressed hope that NATO will be assigned a coordinating role in providing further support to kyiv.
Meanwhile, a US State Department official said earlier that they do not want to invite Ukraine to NATO due to large-scale corruption in the country. According to him, during the summit, the alliance members will ask the Kiev authorities to take additional steps before negotiations on its accession can move forward.
