Inside NATO’s expanding reach in the Asia-Pacific region
Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the world has watched NATO summits closely. This year the security alliance wants to expand in the Asia Pacific region. Dr Gorana Grgic from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences explains. Since Russia invaded Ukraine last year, NATO meetings and summits have been receiving significantly more attention compared to previous years. And there are several big-ticket items on the agenda at the summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, this week. The foremost issue is, of course, NATO's future military support to Ukraine in its ongoing war against Russia, particularly in the wake of reports of weapon delivery delays and the United States' controversial decision to send cluster munitions to the Ukrainians. The allies will also discuss Ukraine's potential membership in the group.
