" Firstly, I’m not sure that I’ll go, but still the probability is great, ”the president said, adding that he would decide on the eve of the summit.

Zelensky also said that he certainly wants to hold a number of meetings in the Hague. According to him, there are appropriate invitations from both the king and the Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

" And therefore, it is very, very important for me that he (the Prime Minister of the Netherlands - Ed. ) invited me. I can have a significant program, including meetings, ”the president said.

" Of course, ”he added.

According to Zelensky, there is a tripartite proposal - NATO, the EU and Ukraine. In addition, Ukraine already has separately planned meetings with the Foreign Minister of all NATO countries and ministers of the defense industry..

NATO summit is scheduled for June 24-25. On June 24, a meeting of the Ukrainian-NATO Council at the Hague should also be held in the Hague at the level of foreign ministers. On May 25, the head of the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands reported that Zelensky received an invitation to the alliance summit. It is expected that in The Hague there will be Trump. The media previously wrote that the United States opposed the invitation of the President of Ukraine to the event.

Trump and Zelensky were supposed to meet at the G7 summit in Canada, but the head of the White House urgently returned to the States due to the aggravation of the situation in the Middle East. As The Guardian wrote, given the fact that the US president left the meeting of the Seven Group ahead of schedule, ignoring negotiations with Zelensky, and the joint statement of the leaders of the Club countries in Ukraine was blocked - the G7 summit became a disappointment for Kyiv.

Meanwhile, the final communique of the NATO-2025 summit, according to the media, can differ significantly from last year: the statement will probably be much shorter and “fit on one page”, they do not plan to mention Ukraine in the declaration, and they will call the Russian Federation a “long-term threat” again.
