Alliance that Ukraine seeks to join, in brief (4)

I believe the answer is:

nato

(Other definitions for nato that I've seen before include "Military bloc" , "Military/political alliance" , "Security agreement" , "Military alliance, formed 1949" , "Collective security alliance engaged in Bosnia" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
