• The specific 3,000-kilometre strike-depth figure cited in the HeyDay narration is not confirmed by any of the supplied sources.
• The full list of partner countries named in the "seven-plus" framing is only partially identified — Estonia, the Netherlands and Denmark newly signed; Canada and Finland publicly pushed but unsigned as of the summit.
• Cost, industrial partner identities and enforcement terms for each of the nine agreements are not spelled out in the reporting on hand.

• Whether the Ukraine–Denmark conversation on a joint European anti-ballistic missile capability moves from talks to a formal programme.
• Whether the Patriot-interceptor requests and the cheaper-alternative search produce an order before the next NATO ministerial.
