Ukraine invited to NATO summit in Hague
Ukraine, which is defending itself against a full-scale Russian invasion, has received an invitation to the upcoming NATO summit in The Hague.
“We have been invited to the NATO summit. I think that is important,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
The invitation was extended to Mr Zelensky during his meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in Vilnius.
Foreign minister Andrii Sybiha has been tasked with preparing the meeting.
Mr Zelensky did not say whether he would travel to the Netherlands himself.
The summit of NATO member states is scheduled to take place in The Hague within the next three weeks.
Ukraine has been fighting the Russian invasion with Western support for more than three years.
Preventing Kyiv from joining NATO, which is enshrined in the country’s constitution, is one of the Kremlin’s main reasons for having launched the assault on its neighbour, Ukraine.
