"NATO Summit: Biden's Meeting with Zelensky and Ukraine's Defense Plans Take Center Stage"

President Joe Biden will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the NATO summit to discuss Russia's war in Ukraine and a potential pathway for Ukraine to join the alliance. The meeting aims to show unity among NATO leaders, although there is some division on Ukraine's membership. Biden has expressed reservations about Ukraine joining NATO while the war is ongoing, citing the need for reforms. Zelensky seeks clearer security guarantees for Ukraine before joining the alliance. The two presidents have had multiple high-profile meetings in recent months, and Biden's decision to provide cluster munitions to Ukraine may face criticism from allies during the summit.
