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.

If Ukraine, via its democratic leaders, choose to join then they should be allowed to. If the populous is against such a move, then they shouldn't.
@9Q7MP7J6mos6MO
Ideally yes they should be able to join NATO, however, they should hold off on this decision as it has influenced Russia's decision to invade Ukraine.
@9PKCN9Q6mos6MO
NO! The US and allies promised NOT to expand NATO eastwards and they have done the exact opposite in the face of Mr Putin!! They are to blame for the current situation!!
