Our source reports that Zelensky will have to provide a general offensive plan of the Armed Forces in 2024 at the NATO summit in July. This plan will be given to a "narrow" circle of "Natov" people. After that, a decision will be made about the F-16.
The NATO summit, which will be held in early July in Washington, will focus on strengthening Ukraine and its victory in the long term.
This was stated by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken during a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. "The summit will be focused on strengthening Ukraine's long-term success, which it has been developing since day one," said the head of the State Department.
He noted that in recent weeks, the United States and other partners have made efforts to strengthen support for Ukraine in repelling Russian aggression. According to Blinken, it is important for the partners to know that the Armed Forces have everything they need to strengthen the front line and stop the Russian advance.
The head of the State Department also reminded of the recently signed bilateral security agreement between Ukraine and the USA. The deal is the 17th since President Joe Biden announced the initiative at the G7 summit a year ago, he said. "Before the NATO summit, we expect that about twenty, and possibly more, countries will sign bilateral security agreements with Ukraine. This is a clear proof that all our partner countries support Ukraine in the long term," said Blinken.
He also added that the US is increasing sanctions pressure on Russia to force it to stop aggression. "If Putin thinks he can survive Ukraine or any of us, he is wrong. Our assistance shows practical results, the country can repel Russian aggression. However, in the future, we want to make sure that Ukraine has achieved success, that it stands firmly on its feet in economic, military and democratic aspects", said the head of American diplomacy, adding that the NATO summit will contribute to the implementation of these efforts.
