Background:
On 2 June, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that all NATO member states had agreed on Ukraine's membership, emphasising that this issue cannot be part of any peace negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow.
In an interview with ABC News, Keith Kellogg, US President Donald Trump's special envoy for Ukraine, stated that the United States considers Russia's concerns about NATO expansion fair and is ready to discuss the matter.

NATO is worth paying for. Trump is right that Europe needs to do more.
President Donald Trump will attend the first NATO summit of his second term Tuesday, at a time when the alliance's 21st-century relevance has never been clearer — but when its sustainability is also in question, with a NATO-skeptical American president back in the Oval Office. Given these realities, Europe needs to show it will contribute its share to ensure the alliance is stable and strong.

Dutch government says pro-Russian hackers target municipalities linked to this week's NATO summit
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Pro-Russian hackers launched a series of denial-of-service attacks Monday on several municipalities and organizations linked to a NATO summit this week in the Netherlands, the Dutch government announced. The National Cybersecurity Center said in a statement that many of the attacks were claimed by a pro-Russian hackers' group known as NoName057(16) 'and appear to have a pro-Russian ideological motive.' It did not elaborate. The cybersecurity center said it was investigating the attacks that flood a site with data in order to overwhelm it and knock it offline, and was in contact with 'national and international partners.' Raoul Rozestraten, a spokesman for the municipality in The Hague, the Dutch city hosting the summit Tuesday and Wednesday, said the attacks hit municipalities around the country. 'We noticed more traffic on the website of some of our service providers,' he told The Associated Press. 'As of now, everything in The Hague is working normally." The government had launched a major security operation, named 'Orange Shield,' around the NATO summit.
