    Correct Answer
    B. Ukraine joining NATO
    Explanation
    Russia's primary concern is Ukraine joining NATO. This is because NATO is a military alliance that Russia perceives as a threat to its national security. If Ukraine were to join NATO, it would bring the alliance closer to Russia's borders, potentially increasing Western influence and military presence in the region. This could undermine Russia's strategic interests and limit its sphere of influence in Eastern Europe. Therefore, Russia is likely to view Ukraine joining NATO as a significant challenge to its geopolitical position and take measures to prevent it.
