Ukraine gave up their nukes 30 some years ago after US and Russia agreed to both protect their security....
So this "security" promise is pretty hollow

There's also been a "ceasefire" in Gaza for over 2 months.
If I can see it would be useless, certainly all of Ukraine can, too.
The U.S. will not go to war against Russia when they invade again. Everyone knows that. Only NATO has a chance of actually helping protect Ukraine from the next invasion.
Yup
Russia has said it won’t accept the deployment in Ukraine of troops from NATO countries.
This includes the US. Basically, Russia is saying no one is allowed to actaully provide security for Ukraine, regardless of whatever paper promises are made.
Also, they already have a guarantee of protection from us that we're blatantly ignoring.
In situations like this, a punt can be the best plan.
Take a deal you know won't last, in the hopes before it falls apart you can join NATO/EU along with getting one on one treaties with a bunch of powerful countries who would be willing to join up.
It's hard to get that stuff signed when actively being invaded, because it immediately activates.
But even a single day pause is enough for other governments to get on board.

Well, Trump won't be alive next time Russia will invade them again.
How is that different from the security guarantee we are already ignoring?
Exactly one year from now: " This was a bad deal, put in place by Biden and we just have to get it changed. See, the nucular is the problem and Obama knew my uncle ar MIT, so we can fix this deal that Biden created. I have told Putin to not invade while we pull all our troops and funding out to make sure that Biden's terrible deal gets fixed in two weeks. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION! "
Why do you think it'll take that long?
Because Russia needs the year off to rebuild weapons and a functional army, well as functional as vodka and corruption can do.
Didn’t they already have a security guarantee from the United States when they gave up their nukes?
You can trust the American government, just ask any Native American. All of our treaties are still upheld…and strong…and *shot in the back.
They had a security agreement with Russia that said Russia would never attack if Ukraine handed over their nuclear arsenal. And we are where we are today because of that.
