"NATO Summit: Ukraine's NATO Membership Rejected, Turkey Supports Sweden"

At the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, no timeline was given for Ukraine's entry into the military alliance, disappointing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated that Ukraine's future is in NATO, but conditions must be met before membership is granted. Turkey, after a year of opposition, announced its support for Sweden's NATO membership bid, with increased security cooperation and assistance in reviving Turkey's EU membership bid as part of the deal. The summit also emphasized the need for NATO countries to allocate at least 2% of GDP to defense spending.
