Ukraine has been asking to join NATO since the 1990s, officially since 2002 (positively received by NATO with the signing of the NATO-Ukraine Action Plan in November of the same year).

The president in 2002 was Kuchma, before picking Yanukovych (then his prime minster, and currently a traitor in Moscow) as his successor. This what he said in 2022:

Throughout my long life, I have never felt so much pride, pain, and anger as I have these day. Willingness to self-sacrifice always live in our hearts. It's just like a volcanic eruption: it's hard to wake up but impossible to contain. No one is ever able to restrain our people when they rise for their Homeland. For our future. For our freedom. I stay at home, in Ukraine, because we are all in our Homeland, there is no other. And we will defend it together until the very victory - without division into party columns, without personal interests and old arguments. United we stand around the Flag, the Army, and the President. Ukraine is no Russia. And it will never become Russia. No matter how hard they want this. We are already winning. And this can’t be stopped. And I will only say to the Russian Federation that I agree with the words of my compatriots who say in one voice: damn you all!

Kuchma, Yushchenko, Poroshenko (who has just been on trial accused of treason for his dealings with the separatists but now is leading his own fighting unit), all are united behind Zelensky in the defense of the nation.

(They might well start bickering again after it is over.)
