The big question hanging over the high-profile NATO summit this week is whether Ukrainian President Zelenskyy will show up.
The weapons have been banned in more than 100 countries because they pose a life-threatening danger to civilians long after conflict, and the White House suggested last year that Russia’s use of them in Ukraine was a potential war crime.
Nevertheless it’s an idea that, in theory at least, does have support among some Western allies. And to firm up that support this week, Zelenskyy went on a diplomatic offensive, touring several NATO member capitals. Turkey, NATO’s largest army after the U.S., and Czechia are among the countries that have recently said they back Ukraine’s accession as soon as conditions allow.
Other experts also said that it is in the Ukrainian president’s interests to show his face at the summit in Vilnius rather than stage a high-profile boycott.
