A summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is set to take place in Ankara this week, where allies are seeking an answer to the question of the alliance's future direction. The meeting comes at a time of fears in Kyiv over a possible massive Russian attack against Ukraine ahead of the summit. Tagesspiegel ↗
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reportedly asked allies for ammunition. On the sidelines of the summit, US President Donald Trump is expected to meet with Zelenskyy and subsequently also with Syria's interim president, Ahmad al-Sharaa. The talks are thus expected to cover not only Russia's war against Ukraine but also broader security issues linked to the Middle East. novinky.cz ↗
The summit venue itself is accompanied by tension. Ahead of the talks, security measures in Ankara were tightened and demonstrations were banned. Turkish authorities reportedly continued arresting opposition politicians, journalists, and environmental activists. At the same time, Germany's SPD called on Chancellor Friedrich Merz to also raise, during the talks, shortcomings in the area of democracy and minority rights in Turkey. Die Zeit ↗
Another contentious topic ahead of the summit is renewed signals from Washington about claims on Greenland. According to reports, a US official described taking over Greenland as an option the US still regards as a solution to security risks in the region. The Ankara summit will thus be a test of the alliance's unity against Russia as well as of the allies' ability to manage internal disputes. The Guardian ↗
