Is Ukraine of Such Strategic Importance to the West's Own Security?

i don't believe ukraine is of such strategic importance to the west's own security that the ongoing conflict demands deeper, broader, more robust intervention by the west. And our commitment to ukraine, i think, in contrast to what kart argues, says nothing about our commitment to our nato allies. Is important to remember, ukrane was not in nato prior to this crisis. You know, some domestic political factors, corruption inside ukraine,. they were a growing democracy, they weren't fully democratic.
