NATO leaders will reaffirm that Ukraine will become a member of the military alliance and also unite on how to bring Kyiv closer to this goal when they meet in Vilnius on Tuesday and Wednesday, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Friday.
"For 500 days, Moscow has brought death and destruction to the heart of Europe," Stoltenberg told reporters in a news conference in Brussels previewing the gathering.
"Our summit will send a clear message: NATO stands united, and Russia's aggression will not pay."
