  1. 2
  2. Absolutely agreed and supported. Though I would not deny Israel support, I offer the following details for consideration and to balance the merits of support for each country. Ukraine was militarily emasculated {neutered} by the Russians between the time of Ukraine's Independence in 1991 and the signing of the Russian - Ukraine Friendship Treaty in 1997. Most of Ukraine's military hardware was transferred to Russia under the provisions of these agreements and the Budapest Memorandum of 1994. In return Russia declared recognition of Ukraine's sovereignty and internationally recognised borders. Russia also, under the provisions of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, and in conjunction with the UK and the US, declared that they would assist and support Ukraine if Ukraine were to be attacked by any other country. Consequently, with these promises and assurances, Ukraine was {apparently} assured of their continued security and protection. Ukraine could concentrate on building on the country's resources and improving their infrastructure, including health and education services. Putin was a party to and signatory to each of these agreements. Russia, as we are aware, attacked Ukraine by mounting an insurgency, fomenting insurrection and, with Russian forces and military hardware and equipment, captured Crimea and waged WAR on Ukraine in the Donbas region in 2014. Much, if not all of the military hardware transferred to Russia, including the Tu-95 heavy bombers, has since been used against Ukraine, up to and since Russia's further full-scale invasion in February 2022. This, despite the Russian political, military and media establishment declaring that their intention was to demilitarise Ukraine. What a farce, as are all the other reasons presented by Russia for their WAR waged against Ukraine. As a result of the agreements between 1991 and 1997, Ukraine was left essentially defenceless, in terms of military hardware and equipment. Ukraine had a skeleton army, navy and air-force with which to mount a defence. Some of their military personnel had been trained to NATO Defensive Alliance standards since 2014. Ukraine had a few soviet era tanks, a relatively small number of planes and helicopters, and some anti-tank weapons that are carried and fired by infantry personnel. These are the reasons, to defend their country, Ukraine has required the support of the UK and the US, in accordance with the assurances given under the Budapest Memorandum, the other NATO Defensive Alliance member countries, and about 30 additional countries that share similar principles and values that Ukraine has already demonstrated and aspires to continue building as part of their nationhood.
