La dichiarazione del vertice della NATO omette l’offerta di ingresso dell’Ucraina, $ 40 miliardi di impegno, Bloomberg Reports | Il documento insolitamente breve riconosce la Russia come una minaccia per la NATO ma non come aggressore in Ucraina.

From the article: A one-page draft of a joint declaration for the upcoming NATO summit omits Ukraine’s membership aspirations and last year’s pledge of over $40 billion in support, Bloomberg reported on June 11 after reviewing the draft.

This news signals that, for the first time since 2022, Russia’s war against Ukraine will not be the chief focus of the annual NATO meeting, which is taking place on June 24-25 in The Hague.

The unusually brief document recognizes Russia as a threat to NATO but not as an aggressor in Ukraine. It also does not mention China, Bloomberg reported.

The communique of the 2024 summit in Washington named Beijing as a “decisive enabler” of Russia’s war against Ukraine. Last year’s gathering also included a declaration that Ukraine’s path to NATO is “irreversible” and promised more than $40 billion in additional military aid.

This year, the document will solely focus on defense spending, as U.S. President Donald Trump pushes NATO partners to hike the military expenditure benchmark from 2% to 5% of GDP.

The final version of the statement can still change, Bloomberg reported.

As Europeans, we must finally free ourselves from the dictates of the USA.
