The meeting will focus on providing comprehensive assistance to Ukraine to help the victim of the aggression to succeed in defending itself and drive the aggressor out of the Ukrainian territory. It will also touch upon transatlantic security, including reinforcement of deterrence on NATO’s eastern flank and preparations for the NATO summit taking place in Vilnius in July.

The Bucharest Nine (B9), which joins the countries on NATO’s eastern flank, consists of Estonia, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia.
