Yeah, just ask the Russians to ignore this still living memory.
(OTOH, America has never been invaded by a foreign power since 1812, and never in our history were millions slaughtered in a no-quarter invasion war of extermination that flattened entire cities.)
NATO has never invaded Russia. If you're referring to World War ii, Germany has been almost the most pro-Russian member of NATO, has showing tremendous reluctance to provide any actual support, and had downgraded its military to be one of the smaller and weaker ones in Europe.
On top of that, Russia now possesses thousands of nuclear weapons that it obviously did not have when Germany invaded in 1941. That absolute deterrent is what protects Russia against invasion.

Ukraine has never been a member of Nato.
And secondly, Zelensky made a major peace offering to Russia in the beginning of the war and was ready to sign a treaty in order to never join Nato ! Guess Russia’s response … “We don’t care about Nato!”, they said.
Even after Sweden and Finland got the go ahead for joining Nato to protect themselves from the wrath of the new Russian KGB-inspired empire, Putin said there was no problem with that and that countries have the right to do as they please – as long they don’t attack Russia.
So let’s stop the immense BS about Russia being displeased about the theoretical possibility of Ukraine joining Nato. That propaganda line is now debunked by everyone including Putin himself.
