The North Atlantic Treaty Organization an intergovernmental military alliance between 30 member states – 28 European and two North American. After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the Ukrainian government repeatedly requested to be accepted into NATO as a member country. Ukraine’s NATO membership has long been a thorny subject in amongst U.S. government officials due to Article 5 of the alliance’s charter. Article 5 requires the U.S. to militarily defend any member-nation that comes under attack. NATO members countries fear that Ukraine’s immediate entry into NATO — which requires the unanimous approval of all 30 member-nations — would put the U.S. and Russia at war due to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine as well as its forced annexations announced in September 2022.

It's none of our business what Ukraine does after the war and we should leave NATO and let Ukraine decide for itself.
@9L93RJ93wks3W
I do believe that if America gets involved, there would be a higher chance at a World War 3, but I don't believe that Russia should be allowed to invade other countries with no consequence. Therefore, I do think that the UK and other NATO countries should work an arrangement between Russia and Ukraine.

Yes, after the current war.
