5 years after Russia invaded in 2014. Which made any objections its regime might have had about Ukraine's potential NATO membership plainly and irrevocably moot. That's why the only years that matter (in terms of the "Ukraine/NATO caused it all" hypothesis) are 2008-2014. Once Russia's regime did chose to invade, any moral capital it may have had in regard to the issue was instantly extinguished.
