Russia-Ukraine war live updates: No NATO invite for Ukraine yet; second day of summit begins
VILNIUS, Lithuania — As the second day of the NATO summit got underway, Ukraine’s allies indicated that they would provide Ukraine with security guarantees to bolster the country’s defenses in the long term. “The United States, along with G-7 leaders, will announce our intent to help Ukraine build a military that can defend itself and deter future attack,” Amanda Sloat, National Security Council Director for Europe, said Wednesday in Vilnius. Ukraine and its allies will negotiate “bilateral security commitments to help make this a reality,” she added. The announcement came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized NATO leaders for failing to provide Ukraine with a clear timeline for membership in the alliance.
