A NATO summit starting tomorrow. Is Ukraine preparing to become the 32nd member country of the military alliance? NATO leaders are meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday at a summit in Lithuania, where they will notably respond to Ukraine’s application for membership. On the way to Vilnius, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he hoped “the best possible result”.

A European tour for Joe Biden. Ahead of this summit, the American president arrived in London on Sunday evening.

He is expected in Vilnius on Tuesday, before flying to Finland, a historically neutral country, which has just joined NATO.
