Not the poster but probably. There were significant NATO policy decisions immediately preceding the 2014 invasion with respect to Ukraine. Further decisions were taken immediately proceeding the 2022 build up and subsequent invasion.

The first was in 2008 when NATO decided Ukraine could start the NATO membership process.

In 2016, Ukraine was granted a NATO Comprehensive Assistance Package (CAP), comprising the advisory mission at the NATO Representation to Ukraine as well as 16 capacity-building programs and Trust Funds.

In 2018, Ukraine was officially given an aspiring member status.

2021 NATO reaffirmed that Ukraine will become a member.

Here is some basic information from the right wing conspiratorial outlet NPR:
