It is completly unfounded. He was wrong and if he was still alive hed probably acknowledge that he was wrong. Russias invasion of Ukraine had nothing to do with NATO (besides the fact that if we had been wise and invited Ukraine into NATO this stupid war wouldn't have happened). It is an imperialistic war that seems to reconquer Ukraine and to be an empire again. Also Yelstin admitted in the 90s that Poland and other countries had the right to join NATO. Russia or at least Putin is saying that Ukraine has never existed and must be reconquered just like the old conquering czars did. The NATO bullshit excuse is the lowest level of propaganda and I'm sure even that are surprised how many people fall far it. NATO was not built to destroy Russia or the Soviet Union (which are separate things) and Ukraine was not seeking to join NATO in 2014 (and had no chance of joining NATO in 2014 and 2021 as everyone including Russia was well aware of).
