The Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons based on a treaty obligation by the U.S. and EU to protect its sovereignty.

What year did the US Senate ratify that treaty, do you remember?

It appears your implication is correct. I cannot find that it was even presented to the Senate for ratification.

Looks like another worthless assurance of support from the West to Eastern Europe. The Ukrainians should have remembered Czechoslovakia and Poland, before giving up their nukes.
