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.
Nearly two months after its outbreak, the Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo has claimed 506 lives; experts warn that cuts to international aid risk exacerbating the consequences of the disease.
TPO - A Chinese court on July 6 sentenced Yang Youlin, a former high-ranking official in Nanjing, to death for corruption, and also convicted him of abuse of power, money laundering, and several other charges.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on July 2 that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US President Donald Trump have both expressed strong determination to lift the sanctions Washington imposed on Ankara under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), thereby opening up new prospects for bilateral defense cooperation, particularly the F-35 fighter jet program.
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.
