## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, as U.S. motorcades and support assets stage in Türkiye, allied capitals are likely to engage in intense pre-summit bargaining over Ukraine support parameters, especially air-defense resupply and long-range strike permissions. Eastern European states will push for firmer commitments, while some Western European members seek guardrails to reduce escalation risk with Russia. This friction will shape the messaging and substance of the upcoming Ankara summit and signal to Kyiv how far Trump-era personalized diplomacy will go in trading battlefield leverage for negotiations. Confirmation would be leaks or statements on draft summit communiqués referencing new Ukraine security packages or conditionality; denial would be unusually muted pre-summit discourse and lack of coordinated briefings.

## Drivers

- NORTHCOM brief on large U.S. delegation preparing for NATO summit in Ankara
- Emerging trend: Trump-centered exploratory diplomacy on Ukraine
- EUCOM assessment of ongoing high-intensity conflict and deep strikes
- Recent escalation in Russian missile use against Kyiv and Ukrainian deep-strikes
