The Hill yesterday: Zelensky: US ‘didn’t want us in NATO’ even before Trump

The comment you missed two days ago due to defederation: https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/5979621

You want some kind of evidence that the USA was never going to permit the Ukraine to join NATO? What would this look like?

They dangled this carrot to start their proxy war and once it got going immediately recanted.

Biden says it 'remains to be seen' whether Ukraine will be admitted to NATO

Biden 'looks forward' to Ukraine NATO membership, just not now

Russia has been consistent that NATO membership would be a declaration of war by the US/NATO, so it would mean the end of civilisation. It's an absurd idea. As much as Russia forming a military alliance with Cuba and Mexico.
