I must have missed when Ukraine joined NATO. They didn’t even apply for it until after this war was launched. Other nations who were not in NATO also pushed to join AFTER this war was launched. The fact that Russia didn’t want to consider Ukraine as a sovereign nation is Russia’s fault, not the West’s and certainly not Ukraine which voted overwhelming to leave - in an actual election.

Engaging in revisionist history about past comments is quite extraordinary. Anything to try to justify the unjustifiable. Shameless!

Ukraine applied to Nato in 2008.

You do know that the Ukrainian military is basically an arm of NATO?
