No final decisions have been made yet, but negotiations are underway on several areas. Such assistance will include training, logistics and air defense. In particular, training of Ukrainian soldiers by NATO instructors on the territory of Ukraine is being discussed.

In addition, a number of NATO countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, and Estonia, are ready to deliver weapons and ammunition not only to Ukraine's borders but also further to the front line. Several Western countries are currently developing the concept of "advanced logistics.
The protection of Western Ukraine's airspace by NATO anti-aircraft systems is also being discussed. Poland is the initiator of the "enhanced air defense," but no final decision has been made yet.
