Nato summit: Ukraine on 'irreversible path' to membership
bbc.com
Nato members have pledged their support for an "irreversible path" to future membership for Ukraine, as well as more aid.
While a formal timeline for it to join the military alliance was not agreed at a summit in Washington DC, the military alliance's 32 members said they had "unwavering" support for Ukraine's war effort.
Nato has also announced further integration with Ukraine's military and members have committed €40bn ($43.3bn, £33.7bn) in aid in the next year, including F-16 fighter jets and air defence support.
The bloc's Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said: "Support to Ukraine is not charity - it is in our own security interest."

Is what Ukrainians called it after countless of them were murdered by police in the streets and they successfully ran their Pro-Putin dictator out of the country. Seethe harder fascist.
The people of Iraq also welcomed the US as liberators.
Whataboutism
Not my fault you failed to understand the simple point that "the people" aren't a monolith and that narratives about what "the people" want aren't necessarily true. If, say, January 6th was a success, Trump and the rest of the fascists would be claiming that the storming of the capital was an expression of "the will of the people" to run the "democrat dictators out of office".
I'm perfectly aware of that, which is why you have to look at material conditions.
Oh look, Ukraine threw out the government that was literally shooting protestors, and Ukraine is no longer a Pro-Putin authoritarian state.
If a similar coup were to happen to Zelenskyy, do you think protestors would not be shot? Regardless, we'll see how long being a pro-west authoritarian state works. The west likes to pump and dump their supposed allies.
If you paid attention to Ukrainian politics any beyond the war you would know that protests in Ukraine have continued throughout the entirety of the war., that Union's and other NGO's that don't cooperate with Russia still function unhindered by the government, and that all non-Russian sponsored opposition parties still function legally.
But please tell me how that compares to Russia where all opposition to the government has been crushed, and where it's literally illegal to be gay publicly.
Shocking, protests and organizations that don't threaten the current power structure don't get violently cracked down. Just so you know, this isn't a thing specific to Ukrainian politics.
That's a really funny way of saying, "Don't work with and aid the country literally invading in a war of national survival"
So going back to my original question:
If a massive amount of people wanted the government to change policy? I already answered that.
Or went the extra step of wanting Zelensky to step down?
He would most likely do so, however it's unlikely that'll happen, unless Ukrainians decided they wanted the government to fight even harder, the only politician that polls better than Zelensky in Ukraine is a very pro-war general.
The first link is people protesting that they want the government to do more of what Zelenskyy wants to do. Do you think he doesn't want to spend more on the war? As for the second link, Zelenskyy is extending his term as president through emergency war powers. None of what you posted answered the question. If there was an actual coup attempt on Zelenskyy, protestors would absolutely be shot at. Bloodless coups are the exception, not the rule.
