ukraine is a money pit of corruption that has been courting a lot of our politicals, even before this war (if we don't count that it started in like 2014) ukraine was the reason for the quid pro quo impeachment, was the center of the burisma story about hunter biden, and some clinton stuff as well a large part of the trump base intersects around nativism, anti-globalism, nationalism as opposed to internationalism, and disaffection with modern liberal institutional authority. all of these things dislike ukraine for reasons that have almost nothing to do with russia
