BERLIN—The NATO summit begins in Washington, D.C. Tuesday amid the turmoil of President Joe Biden’s campaign for the presidency and what the future holds for Ukraine. One of the worst missile attacks of the war in Ukraine occurred Monday, where 41 people were killed and at least 190 were injured, and the country’s largest children’s hospital, Okhmatdyt in Kyiv, was bombarded, leaving medical staff and sick children trapped under the rubble. There were images of emergency workers rushing to provide life-saving medical treatment to small children and bodies scattered throughout the site of the attack.
On the 75th anniversary of NATO, this summit comes at a time when the organization must prove its worth in standing up to the Russian threat.
And Russian President Vladimir Putin is busy reminding NATO members exactly why the union needs to be strengthened with the deadly bombardment of Kyiv and a whistle-stop tour in recent weeks of some of the world’s least democratic leaders.
