"The signal that it sends to Vladimir Putin that the allies are committed to supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes [...] is very important," says Mitchel Wallerstein.
“NATO is doing an incredible amount of things that makes Russia deeply unhappy,” says Ivo Daalder on Al Jazeera English.
"Now the question is working out the conditions [...] and not tie it to a condition that Russia has control over," says Ivo Daalder.
“The important decision that NATO will announce is that Ukraine [...] no longer needs what is called a membership action plan," says Ivo Daalder.
