NATO is an Alliance that consists of 30 independent member countries. The Ukraine is not one of them.

The primary role of Alliance military forces is to protect peace and to guarantee the territorial integrity, political independence and security of the member states. (From their web site)

So since the Ukraine is not on the list of membership, why are we throwing military support along with training needs for them? We shouldn’t be playing in their game. And the interesting thing about this is that Russia is a member of NATO. That certainly doesn’t match up with the structure statements with the US supporting a non-NATO country va member this way.

Ukraine's security was assured via the Budapest Memorandum. You are decades behind on history and diplomatic agreements. Ukraine agreed to give up its nukes under this memorandum, which Putin has violated.

They most certainly are not.
