In 2020 NATO said themselves:

"Allied leaders also agreed at Bucharest that Georgia and Ukraine, which were already engaged in Intensified Dialogues with NATO, will one day become members. In December 2008, Allied foreign ministers decided to enhance opportunities for assisting the two countries in efforts to meet membership requirements by making use of the framework of the existing NATO-Ukraine Commission and NATO-Georgia Commission – without prejudice to further decisions which may be taken about their applications to join the MAP."

2020 was after the invasions of both Georgia (2008) and Ukraine (2014).
Note the December 2008 in the quote, i.e. before Ukraine and after Georgia.
Georgia was in August 2008. You have the wrong quote. This quote is from from April 2008

>NATO welcomes Ukraine’s and Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations for membership in NATO. We agreed today that these countries will become members of NATO.
