Stoltenberg announced that he cannot be sure if Zelensky will attend the upcoming summit. In late June, Ihor Zhovkva told reporters that the president would not attend the summit if leaders didn’t invite Ukraine to join the bloc.
“Of course you can never be 100% certain, especially since he is a president in a country which is in the midst of the war, but I look forward to welcoming him, I have talked with him several times and [was] pleased to welcome him to what will be the first inaugural meeting of the new NATO-Ukraine Council,” Stoltenberg told the Sky News broadcaster.
