The NATO summit in Ankara emphasized unity despite tensions driven by U.S. criticism of allies and escalating conflict with Iran. NATO reaffirmed its collective defence commitments and highlighted increased European and Canadian defence spending to address U.S. concerns. Ukraine secured substantial outcomes, including a commitment of 70 billion dollars in military aid for 2026 with similar levels planned for 2027, and U.S. support for domestic production of Patriot interceptor missiles. Diplomatic friction between Ukraine and Poland eased following direct talks. While Russia was labeled a long-term threat, discussion of potential peace negotiations remained uncertain amid shifting dynamics within Russian elites and continued military escalation.
