That's... a strange opinion from French person (although looking at current French government's actual involvement in Ukraine it kind of corresponds).
Why - Trump was extremely close to removing US from Nato in 2018, a moment Putin waited for decade and a half (how he knew about this is another story, let's say my opinion is really not favorable for Trump and tend to lean on US secret services conclusions on their cooperation). Only conservative hawks in his own government managed to steer him away from this tragic moment.
For any European not in bed with russian spying conglomerate that's an existential threat. We can see it now. Ukraine wouldn't have any significant arms deliveries and would be left to die and be enslaved again by Russia, with Trump cheering this as brilliant move (what he still actually did).
Russians would take over Baltic states, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary (although there is already pro-kremel person installed so not much work needed), possibly also Romania, Moldova, Czech Republic. Also that pesky Georgia, who do they think they are having their own state and democracy. Simply good old pre-1989 setup with good old soviet terror. That's maybe why you guys don't care so much about Ukraine, it seems too far and not your fight, car manufacturing in Russia seems more important. Considering what Putin actually says about whole Europe, you may be wrong this time.
