According to the European Bureau of Report, this is evidenced by the final statement of the summit.

At the same time, the final statement does not mention the prospects of Ukraine's membership in the Alliance. Also, the leaders did not condemn Russia's actions against Ukraine, unlike previous statements. However, NATO countries have identified Russia as a long-term threat to Euro-Atlantic security.

The Allies agreed to increase spending on collective defense to 5% of GDP by 2035.

"We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to collective defense, as enshrined in article 5 of the Washington Treaty, according to which an attack on one person is an attack on all," the statement said.
