The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, will participate via teleconference in the upcoming NATO summit to be held in Madrid from June 28-30, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said Wednesday.
"A special working session will be dedicated to Ukraine" and "President Zelensky will participate during this special session, via teleconference," Albares told a news conference.
"You have to understand the extreme conditions of absolute complexity when it comes to the entry or exit (from Ukraine) of President Zelensky," he said.
"Unity against Moscow"
The Spanish foreign minister assured that "the Madrid summit will give a picture of Euro-Atlantic unity", which "is the best response to Russia's illegal attack on Ukraine".
NATO's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said last week that Zelensky would participate in the upcoming alliance summit, but did not say what form that participation would take. "He is welcome, in person or via teleconference," Stoltenberg had said.
Invited by German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, Zelensky is also expected to participate via teleconference in the G7 summit taking place in Bavaria from Sunday to Tuesday as part of a flurry of diplomatic activity following the European leaders' summit in Brussels, which is expected to grant Ukraine EU candidate status.
