Background: NATO leaders said at the summit that Ukraine should be able to join the Alliance in the future. They did not extend an immediate invitation but assured Ukraine of their unwavering support as well as new promises of military assistance. In addition, in Vilnius, the so-called security guarantees were announced - a multilateral agreement that should "legitimise" military assistance to Ukraine from partners.
