Original Note:
Russia never formally asked to enter NATO after the dissolution of the USSR. Putin back in 2000 reportedly asked NATO chief George Robertson when NATO would invite Russia to join, and was answered that Russia needed first to apply to join, which Russia never did. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/04/ex-nato-head-says-putin-wanted-to-join-alliance-early-on-in-his-rule
