Ihor Zovkva told Reuters that Kiev wants summit NATO ends with concrete results.
I think the summit deserves to have a powerful decision, including Ukraine. Because if he lacks powerful decisions for Ukraine, the summit will be in vain”, he said in Kiev late Monday.
He did not specify what he feels would produce such a decision.
Zelensky, meanwhile, has said Kiev should be invited to join NATO at this year's summit in Washington, after failing to receive an invitation at the 2023 summit in Vilnius, despite the lobby.
Chief NATO and Washington both have said they do not expect 32 coalition members to invite Kiev to join it during the summit, held on 9-11 July.
Yes, Mr Stoltenberg has said he hopes the summit will show Ukraine is moving closer to membership.
The Allies have discussed the possible text of the summit's declaration, which could send such a signal, stating that Ukraine's path to NATO is “irrevocable”.
We deserve a strong decision. Any NATO decision requires reconciliation. We all know that, and we understand that maybe this time, there will be reconciliation again on the last day before the” summit, Zovkva said. / REL/
