London - Saba:
The British newspaper The Telegraph reported that despite statements of support received during the NATO summit in The Hague, the difficult situation in Ukraine and for President Volodymyr Zelensky remains unchanged.
The paper wrote: “Despite the usual declarations of support, there is no real change in favor of Zelensky or his country in this difficult situation.”
The article further noted that the summit’s final communiqué did not explicitly condemn the conflict in Ukraine, signaling a clear shift in NATO member states' stance.
The piece suggested that “Ukraine should not expect to join the alliance.”
The NATO summit took place on June 24 and 25 in The Hague.
In the final communiqué, NATO members agreed to soften their rhetoric toward Russia and increase defense spending.
While the communiqué mentions support for Ukraine, it does so only in the context of broader defense spending, without any separate reference or concrete commitment to Kyiv’s accession to the alliance.
