our correspondent lewis vaughan jones has been following developments in vilnius.in vilnius will be getting under way after a very significant concrete achievement. jens stoltenberg, the head of nato, announcing that turkey had agreed sweden could start the process to membership. now, why is that so significant? well, within nato, each and every member country effectively has a veto against anyone else joining. turkey had some reservations that it made public, and at the beginning of the day, the two sides seemed a long way apart. president erdogan starting to talk about things like opening the door for turkey to eu membership before sweden then is allowed to open the door into nato membership. eu and nato, of course, completely separate organisations. so that was the start of the day. but at the end of the day, jens stoltenberg making that announcement, and there has been some significant reaction from several politicians who are here. joe biden welcoming it, the german foreign minister saying it's good news from vilnius and, of course, the swedish government sayi

our correspondent lewis vaughan jones is in vilnius — he has more, along with our europe editor katya the last two days, this is exactly where world leaders have walked through and spoken to the world's media and given their commitments, particularly, of course, to ukraine. now it's wrapped up, let's get an assessment from our europe editor, katya adler. katya, what is your assessment then of where this leads ukraine and president zelensky, because just before this summit started, it was a blistering start, saying it would be absurd not to get a specific timeline for ukraine tojoin nato. that didn't happen, but how do you think president zelensky will be viewing it now? so can i think it's important not to get hung up on those kind of headlines, because when you leave this summit, you are in no doubt that the west is united behind ukraine and against russian aggression. i mean, that's extremely clear. for the short, the medium in the long term. i think like you have seen at the summit is that tension that exists between the realities of war on the one hand, so, you know, ukraine being
