Much of this is Biden trying to deflect the terrible situation within US away from himself...particularly oil and inflation related.
Sunday night Germany told Ukraine they would not be joining EU or NATO anytime soon.
And here...confirmation that Ukraine will hold an already decided referendum regarding a vote to Refuse To Join NATO. The link here also talks of many EU countries privately urging Ukraine to Drop The NATO Idea completely.

Israel news has been talking about the Biden situation and hyper inflation openly since December. They also have been talking about how he might deflect this bad situation away from himself. And Finally, Israel news mentioned several times that beside Russia...Germany, France, Italy and Austria (Spain gives a repeated no comment on this question) all oppose Ukraine joining NATO. And they have all opposed since back in 2019.
This is a US and Ukraine crisis only. The US trying to Force the Ukraine into demanding a NATO membership in order to sow a crisis.
This isn't about the US. Stop obsessing about yourself. This is about Ukraine, Russia and Europe in general.
