I would go one further. Ukraine trying to join NATO is not a valid reason for an invasion. In fact, I can't think of any valid reason for an invasion. Invading a country is wrong.

Maybe Ukraine wants to join NATO because they share a border with a gigantic country that wants to conquer them.

The amusing part is the invasion actually got Finland to join NATO, which, to my knowledge, did not have prior plans to do so.

If the goal of the invasion was to prevent NATO expanding to russian borders, they've already failed at it.
