NATO Summit: Stoltenberg holds media availability as meeting opens in Vilnius | LIVE

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg will hold a media availability Tuesday, as members of the military alliance meet to discuss the fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Earlier Tuesday, Stoltenberg said Ukraine would get a "positive message" on its path to membership. However, divisions among NATO's 31 members mean there will not be a date or straightforward invitation for Ukraine to join, something Russia has said would threaten its national security.

"I expect allies will send a clear, united and positive message on the path towards membership for Ukraine, Stoltenberg said on arriving in Vilnius, Lithuania for a two-day summit that he is set to host.

The summit is also set to approve NATO's first comprehensive plans since the end of the Cold War to defend against any attack from Russia.
