I don't think Russia is going to do anything other than trying to get some more bargain power with NATO.

NATO has made it clear that it's not backing down. Because if Russia can get to influence the decision on NATO's membership, NATO is done. So, the chance of NATO agreeing to bargain on membership is none... not even slim, just plain none for discussion.

And if Russia is crazy enough to do it anyway... TBH, I think we might be looking at a WWIII lite, at least in that region.

But I guess the problem would be if Ukraine becomes part of NATO, Russia would strategically be cut off from Europe. As Denmark, Norway, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia are all NATO members and Belarus and Finland are NATO partners that can become member one day.
