Since when is Ukraine our “ally”? Are they part of NATO? Did we sign a treaty with them that was ratified by the Senate?
A country can become an ally even without vote in the senate.
This matters just as much:
You DON’T mess with security agreements.
Bilateral security agreements:
In early 2024, following the 24 February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, a number of allies of Ukraine signed long-term bilateral security treaties with Ukraine for many years to come (often a period of 10 years).[9] They resulted from a declaration by the G7 countries at a NATO Summit in Washington on 12 July 2023, concluding the establishment of a framework of bilateral security agreements of long-term military, materiel and economic support for Ukraine’s defence. [9] The bilateral agreements prioritised strengthening Ukrainian air defence systems, artillery, long-range strike capabilities, armour, and combat aviation to fend off Russian military aggression.[9]
