This was revised by NATO in 2021 and more substantial commitments were made.

NATO reaffirmed that “Ukraine will become a member of the Alliance with the Membership Action Plan (MAP)", which is the most traction on the topic since 2008.

In 2016, Ukraine was granted the Comprehensive Assistance Package (CAP), comprising the advisory mission at the NATO Representation to Ukraine as well as 16 capacity-building programmes and Trust Funds. And in 2018, Ukraine was officially given an aspiring member status.

I found this article to be informative:

That article continues the pattern of your earlier comment, which falsely claimed NATO membership was promised to Ukraine. I also have zero ability to confirm the source, whose domain was created about a month after Crimea was illegally annexed by Putin.

You see Russian shills everywhere. The full source was the top result from google searching the quote.

You can read it yourself from the 2021 NATO statement, unless you think the NATO website is another shill. See section 69.

It corroborates my earlier statements.
