Wow, they really think Russia might let Ukraine join NATO in response to territorial concessions? The whole reason for this war was to keep NATO off Russia's border. They have the upper hand militarily, the numbers, the equipment. Why would they accept a settlement that they rejected before expending all this energy, money and manpower? I think Ukraine will be lucky to hold on to Odessa, maybe Kiev and even a sovereign government at this rate. Russia has all the cards and a winnable situation short of NATO declaring all-out war. Apart from anything else Putin wouldn't survive politically if he allowed Ukraine to join NATO after all this. tl:dr - Robert Clark is an eejit. I
