According to the newspaper, at this event, NATO member states will face a challenge to "the unity, resolve, and security of the alliance" due to two threats.

"What makes things even more difficult for Zelensky is that he is not expected to attend the main summit, and unlike in previous years, he will not deliver an eloquent speech to NATO leaders. Instead, the alliance has decided to set Zelensky and the whole Ukraine issue aside, for fear of offending Trump," the article wrote.

On June 14, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that the UK government would soon unveil a new defense investment plan to strengthen its defense capabilities, ahead of the NATO summit scheduled to take place in Türkiye early next month.

US President Donald Trump is reportedly willing to consider the possibility of bringing Türkiye back into the F-35 stealth fighter program, as he travels to Ankara for the NATO Summit and is expected to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

The US confirmed it monitored China's intercontinental ballistic missile launch on July 6 and called on Beijing to engage in substantive arms control discussions.

The first threat comes from Trump, who has claimed a lack of support from NATO and is withdrawing US troops from Europe.

The second threat is the deepening rift within the alliance regarding funding for Ukraine: some of Kyiv's Central European allies are refusing to provide financial support. For example, on the eve of the summit, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk urged the Polish delegation to exercise caution in any statements concerning further financial assistance to Ukraine.

According to the article, all of this is bad news for Zelensky, who will be attending the NATO summit as a guest. Furthermore, goodwill from countries that were once Kyiv's closest allies is now scarce.

Meanwhile, Zelensky himself stated that he intended to discuss accelerating the delivery of interceptor missiles for air defense at the NATO summit.

Trump shouldn't be allowed to speak to avoid offending everyone!

There hasn’t been a single day in years where he hasn’t complained about being offended by one thing or another.
