TL;DR

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy requested additional air defense systems and missiles to improve Ukraine's air defense. The summit will also examine Turkey's future and boost initiatives to address emerging threats to democracy, including from climate change and artificial intelligence.
