Zelensky will attend NATO summit: For the first time the partners of the Pacific region will also be together, the summit will be held in Spain on June 28-29

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will attend a meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to be held this month. NATO Deputy Secretary-General Mirsia Joen told that the President of Ukraine has been invited to this summit to be held on 28-29 June. NATO meeting will be held in Madrid, Spain.

Mircia Joen said – for the first time, NATO partners of the Pacific region – Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea will also participate in the summit. The meeting will discuss the open-door policy and expansion of NATO. We will also talk about the situation in Ukraine. Zelensky will be with us during this time. We expect Finland and Sweden to join NATO soon.

NATO Defense Ministers will meet first

Joanne told me that on June 15-16, a meeting of the Defense Ministers of NATO is to be held. This meeting will take place in Brussels. Defense ministers of Georgia, Finland, Sweden, and Ukraine have also been called in this. The meeting will be chaired by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.

NATO seeks expansion in Europe

Recently Finland and Sweden have applied for NATO membership. Russia's problems have increased because of this. NATO expansion is a sensitive issue for Russia. He calls it a threat to his national security. He also cites this as a major reason for the attack on Ukraine. Russia shares its 1,300 km-long border with Finland. For that Finland is a buffer zone. Russia does not want NATO to come so close to it. That is why Russia opposes Finland going to NATO as well.

At present, NATO member countries Norway, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have a border of about 1,200 km with Russia. If Finland also joins NATO, it will double.

What is an open-door policy

According to NATO, any European state can apply for NATO membership through the open-door policy. After this, according to the basic principles of NATO Collective Defense, the member will help the country in case of trouble. Collective defense means - an attack on one or more members will be considered an attack on all the member countries.

200 Ukrainian soldiers are dying every day in the war

On February 24, Russia attacked Ukraine to capture Ukraine. This battle is still going on. Both countries are suffering a lot, but no one is ready to bow down. According to Mykhailo Podolyaki, a close aide of Ukrainian President Zelensky, 100 to 200 Ukrainian soldiers are being killed every day in the war.
