    I’m reading it as “so we can use Ukraine’s future as a bargaining chip with Russia”.

      I undrstand your reasoning. But you can’t ignore that there are a number of standards, not only security-related but also legal and political, that Ukraine must meet in order to be admitted to the defense alliance. It would likely require a series of reform requirements that need to be fulfilled.
