No, Russia is not a member of NATO.
“Russia is not a member of NATO.”
This is what I’ve found.
Relations between the NATO military alliance and the Russian Federation were established in 1991 within the framework of the North Atlantic Cooperation Council. In 1994, Russia joined the Partnership for Peace program, and since that time, NATO and Russia have signed several important agreements on cooperation.
You are correct as they are legally not members of the UN but they prior to 2014 were actively working within the NATO fold and still are in some agreements.
Before that, on 27 May 1997, at the NATO Summit in Paris, France, was where NATO and Russia signed the Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security, a road map for would-be NATO-Russia cooperation.
It set up a new forum: the “NATO-Russia Permanent Joint Council” (PJC) as a venue for consultations, cooperation and consensus building. There was no provision granting NATO or Russia any veto powers over the actions of the other. NATO said it had no plans to station nuclear weapons in the new member states or send in new permanent military forces. The parties stated they did not see each other as adversaries, and, “based on an enduring political commitment undertaken at the highest political level, will build together a lasting and inclusive peace in the Euro-Atlantic area on the principles of democracy and cooperative security”.
What caused Putin to push back many of their NATO comittments was the situation in the Ukraine even while they were moderately supportive in Afghanistan.
