The NATO summit has kicked off in Lithuania with participants vowing to contain the threat posed by Russia, and continue their staunch support of Ukraine.
However, it hasn't been smooth sailing with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responding angrily to the plan laid out by NATO members - hours before the official communique was released.
In a tweet he accused NATO of creating uncertainty, therefore giving Russia "motivation to continue its terror".
In the midst of all of this, New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins took his seat with world leaders, but on the sidelines as a non-member partner.
