represented a missed opportunity

For NATO, it highlighted an internal hesitancy to adapt decisively to the evolving threats posed by Russia’s aggression The vague promises made by NATO underscores the persistent uncertainty in Ukraine’s fight for a secure place within Europe’s defense structure. It also signals to Russia that cracks remain in the West’s resolve. Ukraine left the summit with a reaffirmation of NATO’s moral support but without the strategic guarantees it so urgently seeks. สล็อต
