Ankara Meeting Brings European Unity But Uncertainty Remains
The recent NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, produced a mix of significant practical outcomes and unresolved questions, according to an analysis by Nadiia Koval, a Policy Fellow at the European Policy Institute in Kyiv. The summit brought greater clarity to sustained support for Ukraine, with expanded defense-industrial cooperation and external financing. However, the central question of U.S. disengagement from European security remains unclear, with the Pentagon’s six-month posture review due to report later in 2026. The summit was first reported by The Kyiv Independent.
