"NATO Summit: Ukraine's Membership Accelerated, Moscow and Minsk Deterred"

The upcoming NATO summit in Vilnius presents an opportunity to accelerate Ukraine's membership and deter Russia and Belarus. The recent chaos caused by the Wagner Group's actions in Russia highlights the threat Russia poses to regional stability. Extending NATO membership to Ukraine would provide meaningful security guarantees and constrain Belarus' support for Russia's aggression. It would also add a battle-ready member to the alliance and reassure displaced Ukrainians. The summit offers a chance to isolate Russia and Belarus and push for Ukrainian victory.
