What exactly did NATO promise the war-torn country two and a half years after the Russian invasion?
At the summit in Washington, NATO countries proposed what alliance chief Jens Stoltenberg called a "significant package" of measures to support Ukraine.
But what exactly did NATO promise the war-torn country two and a half years after the Russian invasion?
"Trump protection" of arms supplies
NATO will take a bigger role than the US in coordinating training and arms supplies to Ukraine by creating a centralized command.
The aim of the move is to protect supplies to Kyiv against a possible return of Donald Trump to the White House after the presidential election in November.
As a result of the change, hundreds of personnel from various NATO member states will be based at a base in Germany and at key centres on the alliance's eastern flank.
The change is quite modest - and it looks like a three-star American general will take over.
But it is an important step for the alliance, which has so far avoided playing a direct role in arming Ukraine over fears it would push NATO closer to war with Russia. A promise of 40 billion euros
NATO countries have pledged to maintain their support for Ukraine for another year at the same level they have been supporting since the Russian invasion - a minimum of 40 billion euros.
"Through proportional contributions, Allies intend to provide a minimum base funding of €40 billion next year and provide sustainable levels of security assistance to Ukraine to enable it to prevail," a summit statement said.
The political pledge aims to put aid on a more stable footing - but it is not legally binding and could be ignored by future leaders.
Stoltenberg had originally hoped to get the allies to commit to a multi-year commitment, but the US asked for a review the following year. An "irreversible path" to membership
NATO has not given Ukraine what it really wants: a clear invitation to join the alliance in the near future.
Instead, the leaders reaffirmed the commitment that Kyiv would one day become a member "when the allies agree and the conditions are met".
To offer Ukraine some encouragement, the leaders nevertheless agreed to say that Kyiv's path to membership was "irreversible".
They also said the NATO package "represents a bridge" to accession.
Air defence
Specifically, US President Joe Biden announced a major package of advanced air defences to help Kyiv repel Russian attacks.
Much of this was already known - including that Germany and Romania are each sending a Patriot battery, the Netherlands is providing parts for one, and Italy is providing a similar system.
In addition, the United States will add another Patriot system of its own.
Under commitments, NATO still cannot provide Ukraine with the seven Patriot systems it has been desperately asking for since April.
Biden and other leaders have said they will provide Ukraine with dozens of shorter-range systems in the coming months.
Fighters
The US, the Netherlands and Denmark have announced that the long-promised transfer of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine is "already underway" and they will be operational in the skies this summer.
Denmark and the Netherlands had already said they were looking to deliver the planes to Kyiv in the near future.
In total, the NATO allies have pledged to deliver dozens of F-16 fighter jets to Kyiv in the coming years.
That's still well short of the roughly 120 that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi says his country needs. | BGNES
