Did you read what he said? You are guaranteeing the war will continue if you reward an invasion with land.

It's just lie. If, for example, NATO gives clear guarantees to join in for Ukraine in the case of next attack(if any agreement on ending the war is reached), then there will definitely not be a next attack.
It's not a lie. It's exactly the same reason you don't let a burglar keep the stolen goods.
NATO does not even consider applicants in the middle of conflicts or even with disputed borders.

According to your theoretical, Russia could attack and immediately invalidate Ukraine's ability to join NATO by re-triggering a conflict.

Come on is this stuff really that hard?
