I believe that which is freely joined has the right to freely un-join, particularly for States of the United States. That said, I am not familiar enough with Ukraine to determine if that ‘original joining’ was indeed free or not.
In any case, this is not my dog, not my hunt. I suggest we send Cackles back in there for another try and see if she can think up something even more stupid than her last try.
It was not. Stalin starved to death about 20 million Ukrainians in something they call the "Holodomor."

Piece of sh*t Bill Clinton promised the US would protect Ukraine if it gave up nuclear weapons located within it's borders.
I consider the word of Bill Clinton to be absolute garbage, and the nation was a fool to ever let that fecal material into the white house.
But what are we supposed to do about promises made by our country's "leadership"?
I feel for Ukraine, but do I feel strongly enough that I want American soldiers fighting Russians?
No.
From another perspective, is Putin the next Hitler? Is this appeasement? Will we have to fight him with less favorable odds later down the road?
Are we making a Neville Chamberlain mistake here?
Since the ratification of the Constitution no state has 'freely joined' anything. They were allowed to join and only after obtaining the approval of a majority of the existing states as expressed through a vote in Congress. Should leaving require the same?
