"NATO Summit: Ukraine's Agenda Dominates Discussions on Defense Plans, Sweden's Membership, and Belarus Concerns"

The NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, will focus on addressing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, including providing support to Ukraine, discussing its potential NATO membership, and ensuring security guarantees to prevent future invasions. The leaders will also discuss Sweden's accession to NATO, defense spending, and the revamp of defense plans in case of a broader conflict with Russia. While not on the official agenda, NATO hopes that Belarus, Russia's ally, will not disrupt the summit or the situation in Ukraine.
