NATO does not want to get involved at the level you're mentioning. Also just for the record, Ukraine is a not a member of NATO.

  It is not a member, but the whole conflict is about NATO offering the possibility of membership to Ukraine. What's the point of considering them for membership if they don't want to get involved?

    > It is not a member, but the whole conflict is about NATO offering the possibility of membership to Ukraine. No, its not. The Russo-Ukrainian war started when Ukraine had a neutrality commitment and no one was pushing for changes from the NATO side, either. Now, immediately after Russia invaded and annexed Crimea, and invaded and begin direct (with “deniable” forces) and local proxy wars in other parts of Eastern Ukraine, Ukraine dropped that commitment and resumed attempts to join NATO, but the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is about Russia trying to take over Ukraine despite their being no active efforts toward NATO membership, not about NATO offering membership to Ukraine.

    > the whole conflict is about NATO offering the possibility of membership to Ukraine This is what Putin says now. The actual reasons are clearly spelled out in the article published by TASS after Putin started the invasion: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-60562240 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-60562240 As you can see, they have nothing to do with NATO expansion - Putin just wanted Ukrainians to be part of Russian empire just like Belorussians are.
