The Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed that a NATO summit is impossible without Ukraine because the war between Russia and Ukraine is a security challenge facing the Alliance.

He also expressed the opinion that, if the Euro-Atlantic community wants to deter Russian aggression and demonstrate to Vladimir Putin that a potential attack on their community will not work and neither will it be beneficial, it is necessary to project strength now.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte confirmed that he had invited Ukraine to participate in the upcoming summit in The Hague, stopping short of commenting on the format of such a meeting, noting that its detailed agenda is still being developed.
