I'm not even going to read the article; Ukraine is no where near being able to join NATO anyways.

Hungary and Turkey have shown that just signing off on NATO membership for the sake of your own people and country's safety is a dumb idea; why do that when you can block it and get concessions of some kind out of it. Reward bad behavior and all that.

If Ukraine 'wins' the war, has peace, and meets requirements for joining NATO, we can look at the idea then, but until then, there is just no way Ukraine is going to join NATO anyways. Even if we expedited all the pre-work for that time, and the time came, several countries are going to block it.
