Well, the NATO leaders are determined and strong, and that will be clearly expressed at the NATO summit, where I expect a strong package for Ukraine. With a new NATO train and assistance for Ukraine, with a NATO command for Ukraine, with financial commitments, with additional announcements of increased military support, with bilateral security agreements and with everything we are doing to deepen the relationship with Ukraine, interoperability, the new training and education center in Poland and all the other efforts. So it will be a strong demonstration of our commitment to Ukraine

I expect more announcements on military support, and I expect NATO command and the NATO financial pledge to be agreed upon. And it will be much stronger than we had before the Summit
