Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky can expect from the upcoming NATO summit in Vilnius on Ukraine's admission to the alliance is guarantees of further military aid at best, Konstantin Gavrilov, the head of the Russian delegation at the military security and arms control talks in Vienna, said in an interview with Sputnik.
The diplomat added that Zelensky has long hinted that he would like an accelerated process of joining NATO because of the western military aid. The UK and the US, however, have made it clear that the necessary criteria must be met for this.

"The best that Zelensky can expect [from the summit] is guarantees of further military assistance and supplies of ammunition," Gavrilov said, adding that "the fact that a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council will be held during the NATO summit is just a nod to Kiev and nothing more."
