Well sadly no, they will not be joining nato.
Ukraine wants to, but countries like France and Germany will block that.
Only takes 1 Nato country to veto that
Russia desperately trying to spin their invasion as a conflict with NATO. >

they have been saying as soon as nato gets involved with ukraine they were gonna invade and they did. >

8 years ago? >

i’m not sure of the exact timeline but throughout 2021 they built their defense on the border to invade and as soon as ukraine was set to join nato or were in talks they did their full scale invasion. i’m not saying it’s right so idk why it’s downvoted i’m just saying we saw it coming >

You are being down voted because you have the facts wrong. >

Maybe read you own links?
"It’s noteworthy, however, that NATO likely has “no intention right now” to admit Ukraine to the organization, says William Pomeranz, the acting director of the Kennan Institute at the Wilson Center, a non-partisan policy forum for global issues." >

yes, and that is true. but i original said it was how russia didn’t like ukraine being in talks with nato or potentially join them down the road. they wanted complete control. so they threw a hissy fit and went forward with is based off assumption. >

Your words:

Ukraine was never set to join Nato or were in "talks." >

Russia needlessly invades for its own geopolitical, energy politic ends. Threatens NATO and the world with nuclear annihilation for crossing arbitrary red lines. Now is whining about arbitrary “rules” to war that weren’t agreed upon. And is trying to pretend that it wants peace, when it only wants a truce so as to buy time for a push at a more opportune time. Ridiculous. >

Nobody’s buying his shit in the west. He says crazy stuff all day long that just makes him sound like a lunatic. He should put on more make up and a red nose if he’s going to act like a clown on camera. >

They're definitely in the minority, but there are still plenty of useful idiots in the West who swallow and regurgitate Russian talking points. >

Well, talks weren’t gonna start anyway. Russia is still occupying and trying to take more of Ukraine. 
Until they are out of the territory, no negotiations will take place. >

I bet their peace deal is “ complete cease fire, but we kept all the land we currently occupy” >

"and we take the rest later" >

That’s the thing, Ukraine needs to join NATO but not everyone will agree, they’ll be one of the most powerful with all the weapons and their fighting experience, we will just need a marshal plan for them after we spend what had once been ruzzian money but now will hopefully be used for reconstruction, it’ll probably cost a trillion dollars. >

Ironically by attacking Russia all but guaranteed Ukraine will be able to join NATO.  No NATO country wants to see Russian armies maraudering their way through a neighbor again.  But you can't join NATO while in your borders are in dispute, so it won't happen until the current situation is resolved.
