If there is a choice between allowing Ukraine join NATO and an immediate nuclear war (limited or all-out one) - Russia will choose nuclear war.In 1991 with the Soviet Union dissolved itself. Ukrainians greeted the fact and quickly claimed their right to be an independent country. They stated they were neutral, signing a mutual defense pack with the Russian Nations but also allowing themselves to join NATO. In 1994 they began that process. They have tasted freedom and there's no going back. Before this invasion 70% of the Ukrainians saw Russians as their friends. Now because of putin's acts of war and aggression on them 90% considered the Russians the enemy now. Putin has opened the Pandora's box that will allow not only the Ukraine to become part of NATO but every other former Soviet state.
And no, there is no freedom in the modern Ukraine.
