“NATO will be discussed by the two leaders,” of course, what else would one expect from a self-proclaimed “war president” from USA?
They’ll push and push the issue that joining NATO is in Ukraine’s best interests, despite the fact that, according to repeated surveys, it is not popular among Ukrainians.
Perhaps “democracy” just goes so far and means only so much to the elite?
In the end, we’ll see how well Western rhetoric and propaganda works.
