why the U.S. would get interested can be found in the short version of the Budapest Memorandum signed in 1994 by Russia, the United States including four other nations.

Russian President Boris Yeltsin left, American President Bill Clinton, Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, British P.M Jhon Major signed the Budapest Memorandum in Dec 1994.

This agreement is disobeyed by Russia in 2014 and today it is terrorizing it once again, But two countries United Kingdom and the United States are trying to achieve their ends of the contract by supporting to secure Ukraine’s continuous sovereignty, usefully maintaining the assurance Russia has continually violated.

why the U.S. and other NATO countries are supporting Ukraine? there are further reasons specifically as an effect of Russia’s demands to draw out, which are in no way downgrade to Ukraine especially. Russia desires never allow Ukraine to join their union and NATO powers to take out of much of Western Europe, but for NATO countries, providing Russia veto power over other countries’ connections with their union is a non-starter.

If NATO were to draw out of Eastern Europe and allow Russia to occupy Ukraine, it would invalidate the union in the eyes of many Europeans and open the door for continued Russian hostility in that territory, capturing all of its ex-Soviet states till it has recovered all of the regions it lost.
