ZELENSKY PIVOTS, DECLARES VICTORY: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky went from expressing deep disappointment to unabashed satisfaction in a matter of hours after arriving at the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania.

“The Ukrainian delegation is bringing home a significant security victory for Ukraine, for our country, for our people, for our children,” Zelensky gushed at an appearance with President Joe Biden and Fumio Kishida, where the Japanese prime minister was announcing a Joint Declaration of Support for Ukraine by G-7 nations.
