Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff said Friday that officials were "very disappointed" in the outcome of the NATO summit this week, the Washington Post reports.
Driving the news: "We expected more bravery. We expected some bold decisions," Andrii Yermak said in a video call with the Atlantic Council, per the Post.
- Yermak and other top Ukrainian officials sought Ukraine Soviet-era jet fighters from NATO countries. They also wanted the defensive alliance to establish a no-fly zone.
- Yermak also said that NATO appeared willing to wait until its June summit to make decisions regarding Ukraine, per the Post.
The big picture: The leaders of NATO, the G7 and the European Union convened a trio of summits in Brussels this week one month after Russia began its invasion of Ukraine.
- President Biden expressed support for expelling Russia from the G20 and said NATO "would respond" if Russia used chemical weapons inside Ukraine.
- Meanwhile, Zelensky criticized NATO for declining to establish a no-fly zone or provide Ukraine with fighter jets or tanks, Axios' Zachary Basu reports.
