Russia demands NATO to deny membership to Ukraine. NATO says no way. Looks like both sides have a looong way to go to reach the middle ground, if there will ever be one:

Meanwhile, the US once again showed the hypocrisy at its finest with this (emphasis mine):



Dementia Joe must have forgotten what he said to another country, a few weeks ago. Honduras: "Sir, I don't want to be with Taiwan anymore." The US: "You do. And shut the f--k off."

Ukraine - Russia Makes Serious Demands, Warns Of 'Confrontation' (14 DEC 2021)

Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov on Monday warned of confrontation should the United States and NATO fail to give Russia security guarantees concerning its eastern expansion, the RIA news agency reported.

President Vladimir Putin has demanded legally binding security guarantees that NATO will not expand further east or place its weapons close to Russian territory; Washington has repeatedly said no country can veto Ukraine's NATO hopes.

The confrontation Ryabkov talks about would not be verbal if Russia's red lines get crossed:

We have openly pointed out that there are RED LINES which we will NOT allow anyone to cross, and we also have certain requirements, which have been formulated exceedingly clearly.

Russia can of course veto the Ukraine's entry into NATO. It can destroy the Ukrainian military, take the regions of Ukraine where a majority speaks Russian and create a new sovereign state from them.
