The US has no interests in Ukraine.

Other than showing people that defense agreements with America mean something, and taht giving up nuclear weapons is a good idea.. The US and Russia agreed to respect and protect Ukrainian sovereignty. http://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=A/49/765

“The US and Russia agreed to respect and protect Ukrainian sovereignty.”

Sir, you are wrong.

Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin made that agreement. And neither executive ever submitted such to their respective ratification body for approval.

Neither the United States or the Russian Federation agreed to ANYTHING concerning Ukraine.
