Vilnius NATO Summit: Is an Ambitious Agenda for Ukraine Possible?

Kyiv looks to NATO capitals for assurances, but disagreements remain sharp

NATO allies are split on how to incorporate and support Ukraine during the ongoing Russian aggression, but enhanced, more tailored cooperation can be expected at the upcoming summit in Vilnius.

In July 2023, in Vilnius, NATO will hold its second summit during Russia’s full-scale attack against Ukraine. Echoing the summer temperatures in Lithuania, this assembly will feature heated debates.

Against the wartime backdrop, the allies will discuss additional measures for defence and deterrence while taking stock of military capabilities in all dimensions of the battlefield. One may expect some forward-looking decisions on the enhanced military presence of the Alliance on the Eastern flank, intensified multinational military drills and joint initiatives to boost defence industries in NATO members.

But what still lies beyond the scope of compromise is the destiny of Ukraine. The level of support and Ukraine’s potential accession process are the issues that will generate a lot of discord among the group.
