Yes really. Ukraine signing a constitutional amendment calling for NATO membership isn't progress towards NATO membership.

Progress would be formal negotiations for membership after meeting all the requirements (Ukraine was pretty much locked out because of its ongoing low level war since 2014, and didn't want to join before 2014). Having countries voting to allow the new member. There is almost no chance that you would get unanimous support for Ukraine's membership.

Not that joining is any sort of attack on Russia or aggressive move by Ukraine. Ukraine is a sovereign nation that is properly free to have its own foreign policy. And while the 2014 attack by Russia may have decreased the change of Ukraine's NATO membership (even though it was already low), the 2022 escalation hasn't made it less likely but more likely (but its still not likely at all).
