Officials organising a NATO summit in The Hague this month are expected to keep it short, restrict discussion of Ukraine, and choreograph meetings so that Volodymyr Zelenskiy can somehow be in town without provoking Donald Trump.

Donald Trump will attend the upcoming North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit at The Hague, the White House said, as the US president seeks to rally the alliance’s members to step up defense spending.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Ukraine has been invited to a NATO summit in The Hague this month, Mark Rutte, the military bloc's chief, said on Wednesday, without specifying whether this meant Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy would attend.
