This is stated in the declaration of the summit.
North Atlantic Alliance member states, including the United States and Hungary, have agreed that helping Ukraine in the war against Russian Federation will be part of their contribution to Euro-Atlantic security.
This was stated in the summit declaration, according to "European Pravda".
The key element around which the summit's decision was formed is an increase in allied defense spending to 5 percent of GDP.
At the same time, NATO members agreed that assistance to the AFU will be counted as part of defense spending.
"Allies reaffirm their continued sovereign commitment to support Ukraine, whose security is a contribution to our security, and to this end will include their direct contributions to Ukraine's defense and contributions to its defense industry in the calculation of their own defense spending," the document reads.
It should be noted that the decision was adopted by consensus, so it was supported by all member states, including the United States and Hungary.
