The source also noted that the meeting of Alliance leaders is “an opportunity to maintain support and promote a ceasefire”.
Background:
Zelenskyy has been invited to an official dinner for NATO leaders to be hosted by the King of the Netherlands on the evening of 24 June, the first day of the summit.
However, according to media reports, some Ukrainian officials are questioning the advisability of Zelenskyy attending the NATO summit given US President Donald Trump’s diminishing interest in resolving the war in Ukraine.
This week also saw Trump leave the G7 summit early, missing a planned meeting with Zelenskyy.
