NATO, being a defense alliance, had several altercations in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, since Ukraine wants to join NATO. In other words, Ukraine wants to join NATO and when Ukraine had a war against the Russians, NATO as a defense alliance had the choice whether to defend Ukraine or not. On the one hand, NATO had to say that Ukraine is not an official member of the alliance so that they would not have to defend Ukraine from Russia. Even so, NATO helped Ukraine as a few resources and secondary support.
