Much of rhetoric at Nato summit will seek to highlight the ‘bridge’ proposal for Ukrainian membership
US secretary of defence Lloyd Austin welcomes Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg at the Pentagon: At last year’s summit in Vilnius, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was unhappy at the failure of Nato allies to give a clear outline for Ukraine’s membership negotiations.
At an advance briefing on Monday, ambassador Michael Carpenter, senior adviser for Europe at the National Security Council, rejected the suggestion that the Nato leaders were in danger of complacency regarding their aid to Ukraine. Even as the table settings were laid in Washington, news travelled across the Atlantic that at least 35 people had been killed in a Russian missile barrage on Kyiv that included a strike on Ohmatdyt hospital, the largest children’s hospital in the country, and that rescue attempts to locate people under rubble were ongoing. Acknowledging that atrocity, Carpenter stressed that a further air defence announcement was imminent, along with an announcement of F16 military aircraft.
