Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian President, expressed his appreciation for the outcomes of the NATO summit in Vilnius, acknowledging the support of the governments backing Ukraine. Initially, the summit faced tension when Zelenskyy criticized NATO’s lack of a timeline for Ukraine’s membership as “absurd.”
Despite the ongoing turmoil, Kyiv endured a third consecutive night of airstrikes from Russia. The city’s military administration reported significant overnight strikes carried out by Iranian-made Shahed drones, resulting in at least one casualty.
In response to the NATO summit’s conclusions, the Kremlin displayed hostility, describing the security guarantees pledged by the Group of Seven countries for Ukraine as a “very dangerous mistake.” The Kremlin further stated its intention to utilize all available means and methods to respond.
Considering recent events, what lies ahead for Russia following the uprising of the Wagner Group mercenaries remains uncertain.
