Despite the smiles and bonhomie of the country's defence minister, Oleksii Reznikov, NATO's resolve didn't buckle. The question of supplying planes remains 'under discussion'. But other issues, such as the more prosaic question of ammunition, took precedence.
The frontlines of this conflict are now lined with trenches that would not look out of place in the First World War. But NATO, its members and its wider allies are all having to adapt to that reality.
Alongside that, of course, are heavy weapons, including tanks, that have been promised by various nations, including the UK. And, not for the first time, America is keen to start a conversation about how other NATO members could spend more of their budget. By then, both Finland and Sweden may have become full members, if Turkey and Hungary have finally been persuaded to drop their objections.
