It’s not support. Zelensky has the right to ask that the US follow through on its commitment to Ukrainian security as agreed in the Budapest Memorandum in 1994. In the same way that the US is the guarantor of Israeli security. While Netanyahu is a monster, but Ukraine is in a purely defensive fight, they have no desire to occupy Russia
