The northmen are smart, they'll know how to play this thing out of trouble for them - by joining or not -, while they get heavyly armed and ready for what's next. As hard as the ukraine guys/gals are, they initially lacked the readiness for a big war you can find now in Finland and Sweden right now. So the Z guys could find an even harder welcome party, if they care to step in through their borders. You know these guys have been regularly waging wars since before the stone age, they quite know how to fight wars. Even new kinds as this one ongoing.
