Ukraine received an official invitation to the NATO summit in The Hague

Ukraine received an official invitation to the nearest NATO summit, which will be held in the Hague from July 24 to 26.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Monday after the Bucharest nine summit and the northern countries in Vilnius. Who exactly will represent Ukraine at the NATO Summit did not specify.

In May, the Netherlands press appeared with reference to diplomatic sources that the administration of US President Donald Trump was opposed to Ukraine’s invitation to the summit, but US Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied this. Rubio noted then that at a meeting of Foreign Ministers of the NATO countries in Antalya, "Many colleagues raised the question of the invitation of Zelensky, we did not oppose." He also recalled that the summit is expected at the summit of the four states of the Asia-Pacific region, and in the North Atlantic Union there has long been a practice to invite representatives of states that are not NATO members to meet his meetings.

At the end of May, Radio Liberty reported that in the final communique of the summit there may not be references to the Russian-Ukrainian war due to Trump's position.
