> Ukraine was not joining NATO

Oh my god, you're just ignorant.

NATO itself said they would join the alliance back in 2008.

> At the 2008 Bucharest summit, NATO declined to offer Ukraine a Membership Action Plan, but said that Ukraine would eventually join the alliance.

Also mentioned even in NATO's own website:

You can read the full statement from 2008 here: https://www.nato.int/en/about-us/official-texts-and-resource...

This was the trigger for the Russian invasion of Georgia, which was also mentioned in the above statement.

Do you think NATO is spreading Russian propaganda on its website??
