Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to meet with NATO leaders this week as heads of state converge on the Baltic state of Lithuania for a two-day summit.
Zelensky’s visit to Vilnius will come on Wednesday, the last day of proceedings, Bloomberg reported.
The 45-year-old previously pressed NATO for clarity on whether Ukraine can eventually join the Atlantic alliance.
Ahead of the summit, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, who recently received a one-year term extension, stressed that the meeting would not result in Ukraine being invited to become the bloc’s 32nd member.
Other NATO leaders have all but ruled out allowing the war-torn country to become a member until its conflict with Russia ends — though the topic of Ukraine will still dominate discussion.
