The Ukrainian forces have been getting trained as part of Op Orbital.
it’s been going on a number of years.
Deploying any significant numbers of troops to the Ukraine would be pointless.
The supply chain would be a nightmare to defend, to make it worth while the numbers would need to be significant.
This would mean less troops in Poland and other countries.
Diplomatic is really the only way out of it.

The democrats are incompetent. Other countries were emboldened by Biden's failures when exiting Afghanistan, leaving behind billions of dollars of weapons and equipment, abandoning our allies and even leaving American citizens there stranded.
Biden is dumb and cowardly. Every other country knows it now. Sending in 8,500 soldiers won't stop Putin if he wants to invade Ukraine.
Sadly, I think Ukraine will be let down by the West like it did in Afghanistan. Ukraine should have joined NATO at the earliest opportunity, but keeping it quiet until completed. Biden won't send troops for 2 reasons. First, he doesn't want another "10 years war". Second US is part of NATO, and they will not sanction it.
Have you not noticed that sending US troops wherever in the world hasn't worked out that well for either the local populations or the troops?
Are you aware that eastern Ukranians don't learn Ukranian at school but Russian?
Do you have any knowledge of the country that you're proposing should be invaded?

You really need to chill white boy. Do you actually want a conflict between two nuclear-armed major powers? The Ukraine joining NATO is exactly what would compel Mr. Putin to send his troops in, because he has specifically stated that such a move would be to cross one of his "red lines".
"Just send American troops in" - Oh sure, because it's not like they'd get their asses kicked for doing so. Are you in the army? Would you go, Mr. Arm-Chair General? Why are you automatically assuming that Russia would lose? Have you been watching too many Hollywood action flicks again?
Because the members would lose leverage to negotiate with Russia which is a much bigger beast to eat.
For example, they would think "what do I get if I admit Ukraine into the NATO?" Then they will go further "If I tell Russia that I would remain neutral, what will Russia give my country?"
It would be very foolish to put US prestige on the line in the Ukraine, especially since we aren't willing to fight Russia with our supply lines extended all the way back to the US and the lack of certainty of NATO logistical support. Ukraine means a lot to Putin, it doesn't to us. Who thinks we'd win such a war?
Ukraine cannot join NATO since they have active on-going territorial disputes that NATO doesn’t want to be injected into.
As for why countries won’t deploy to Ukraine, because nobody considers them to be worth the effort.
NATO was formed after WWII as a military alliance primarily to defend against a Soviet attack. At the time it was formed Ukraine was a Soviet block country.
White-Americans are the dumbest people in the world, lol.
"So just send American troops into Ukraine. Train them and equip them."
That would be enough for Russia to bomb Ukraine into oblivion with our troops there, moron.
The US cannot even defend its own borders. What makes you think it should defend someone else's?
Ukraine is not a NATO specifically not to antagonize Russia.
The American people are also wary of engaging in another conflict.
Ukraine is old Soviet, Cold War country, they have enough War technology and they don't need to joun NATO...
It’s as much as of a hoax as the US invading Iran in winter of 2020
I agree, Biden is clueless...
