Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been invited to the NATO summit in Ankara, confirmed by Secretary General Mark Rutte. The invitation contrasts with last year's limited participation due to the Trump administration's influence. The focus has shifted from the Ukraine war to defense spending commitments. Tensions remain high regarding NATO's involvement in the Iran conflict, with Trump expressing disappointment over allies' lack of support. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio mentioned ongoing discussions for a potential deal to end the Iran conflict, emphasizing that Iran's nuclear ambitions are a red line for the US.
