Background
In his January 2023 address to the Lithuanian Parliament, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saw the summit as fateful.[3]
As late as February 2023, both Sweden and Finland were hoping that Hungary and Turkey would do the necessary ratifications to admit them to membership. A Turkish writer foresaw admission before the Vilnius summit but "realistically after" the 2023 Turkish general election,[4] which at the time was scheduled to take place on 18 June 2023.
