The much-awaited NATO sumit has begun at the Lithuanian capital city of Vilnius.
This is a two-days summit that comes at a very critical juncture.
First, it has been 503 days since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in which there is no outright winner so far.
Second, just a few weeks back, Russian president had survived an insurrection from Wagner group.
Third, USA has agreed to send cluster bombs to Ukraine even after vehement opposition from humans rights groups…and fourth yesterday, Turkey agreed for Sweden’s inclusion in the alliance after much dilly-dallying.
In this backdrop, it is crucial to understand what the summit hopes to achieve.
This summit is infact the fourth NATO summit since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with the first held virtually on February 25, 2022, just one day after the assault, followed by meetings in Brussels and in Madrid.
This extraordinary flurry of gatherings stands in contrast to the previous rhythm of annual NATO summits and shows how war on its doorstep has forced the alliance to strengthen cooperation.
The most crucial question would be about Ukraine’s entry to NATO.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused the West of employing a “destructive strategy” aimed at painting Russia as the enemy in the ongoing Ukraine conflict. In a recent statement, Putin asserted that the West’s policies have fueled anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine, which he claims has become the country’s official ideology. This rhetoric comes amid escalating tensions and ongoing military actions in the region, as Putin frames the conflict as a result of Western interference and manipulation.

In a dramatic interview with RT’s Anna Knishenko, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Israel and Ukraine of deliberately instigating major regional conflicts to address their own issues. Lavrov claims that Israel is leveraging current tensions to resolve long-standing conflicts with Hamas, Hezbollah, and pro-Iranian groups, while avoiding direct engagement from Tehran. He also draws a parallel with Ukraine, suggesting President Volodymyr Zelensky is trying to entangle Western powers, including the US and NATO, into a direct confrontation with Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is facing intense criticism from within his own ranks following significant battlefield setbacks in both the Donbass and Kursk regions. According to the Financial Times, soldiers, lawmakers, and military analysts are expressing frustration over the rapid advances made by Russian forces, which have reportedly exploited weaknesses in Ukraine’s defense strategy. The situation has deteriorated as Russian troops have breached Ukrainian lines in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), closing in on the strategically crucial city of Pokrovsk. This city’s loss would have severe implications for Ukrainian military logistics, with analysts describing the current defensive situation as a “complete failure” and “complete chaos.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed General Mykola Oleshchuk from his position as head of the Ukrainian Air Force following a public dispute related to a fatal F-16 jet crash. The incident, which resulted in the death of pilot Aleksey ‘Moonfish’ Mes, has ignited a heated controversy between Oleshchuk and MP Mariana Bezuglaya from Zelenskyy’s ruling Servant of the People party. Bezuglaya claimed that the jet was accidentally downed by a US-donated Patriot air defence system, a statement Oleshchuk vehemently denied, accusing her of undermining the military and aiding Russian propaganda.
