There are 6 things on the list. This one is the closest to promising to defend Ukraine: >Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". I don't know exactly what "Seek immediate Security Council action" means. What if the US seeks it and doesn't find it? Is that in compliance with the memorandum?

They did. Guess what happened? Vetoed by Russia.

  Such vetoes are invalid when the veto state is directly involved into the conflict.

    While that is technically correct based on the UN Charter, it's meaningless in practice. None of the permanent Security Council members are willing to take direct action on this issue.
