Details: In his address, the president did not explicitly say that he would be present in Vilnius in person. But he ended his address with the words: "It is an honour for me to represent such people and such Ukraine!"

He also mentioned that "bilateral meetings of various levels are planned in Vilnius – European countries, America, Canada, Japan…"

Quote: "The priorities are absolutely clear: air defence for our cities, for all communities throughout the country, we are working to create a full-fledged sky shield."

More details: Until recently, the Ukrainian side had neither confirmed nor denied the president's participation in the NATO summit on 11 and 12 July.

"President Zelenskyy will join us at the inaugural meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council," Stoltenberg said. The meeting is scheduled for 12 July.
