A difficult decision for Nato over when Ukraine should be able to join the military alliance.

Overnight, member states have agreed Ukraine will be allowed to join once allies agree and conditions are met including a halt in fighting.

Newshub's Lysette Reymer says Nato doesn't want to be drawn into an active conflict.

But she told Kate Hawkesby it doesn't want Russia to think it can stop Ukraine from joining Nato by continuing its invasion.

Zelenskyy will speak at the summit tonight, and is due to meet with Chris Hipkins tomorrow night.
