Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticised the “absurd” absence of a timetable for his country to join Nato as leaders met at a summit in Lithuania.

President Joe Biden described the Nato gathering as a “historic moment” and said the US agreed with a proposal, yet to be released publicly, to outline a path for Ukraine’s eventual membership.
