Ukraine is the largest country in Europe and has enormous agricultural resources as well as huge undeveloped energy potential.  It is in Europe’s best interests to keep it free from Russia and open to Western commerce and economic development. Ukraine has the potential to be vastly more prosperous than Russia.  It is in the US’s best interests to stand by its guarantee of territorial integrity made in exchange for the voluntary denuclearization undertaken after the breakup of the Soviet Union and independence 30 years ago, although Russia has clearly reneged on that guarantee which they also made and therefore has proven that nuclear weapons (as well as NATO membership) are the only real guarantee of sovereignty from expansionist imperial powers.
