It's a pizza slice out of the broader pie of facts, which you are mostly omitting. Mostly in regard to what actually happened in the years following: Ukraine drifted even further from NATO aspirations, going so far as to pass a bill in 2010 precluding Ukraine's membership not only in NATO, but in any military bloc. Despite the hawks' attempt to mollify themselves with that backhanded proclamation at the very end -- overall the summit was unequivocally a setback to them, and a win for the pro-sanity camp. Which a saner Russian leadership could have easily leveraged further via purely diplomatic means. But that's not the leadership we have in Moscow, and when it did choose to invade in 2014, it wasn't because of the NATO issue (or at least not out of any rational response to it).
