As you know, the NATO summit will be held in Washington in less than a week. Experts believe that Kyiv should prepare for both positive and not so good news. In turn, the journalists of The Daily Telegraph, citing a high-ranking official of the US State Department, reported that the Ukrainian side has done a lot for reforms in the country over the past two years. Despite this, NATO member countries are in no hurry to invite Ukraine to the Alliance due to large-scale corruption in the state.
Also NATO member countries agreed in 2025, to provide Ukraine with 40 billion euros of military aid in 2025. According to the mass media, the leaders of the member states of the Alliance will sign the corresponding document at the summit in Washington.
