As a Ukrainian, this sounds like betrayal. We went to war expecting sufficient military support from our superpower partner/ally.

You didn't "go to war". A portion of your sovereign territory was invaded, and you did/are attempting to defend it. The fact that the US/NATO are willing to contribute to your defense is just a plus. Ukraine is not a NATO member and has no defense treaties with anyone in Europe.

Technically true, but if you get some amount of promised military support, you're going to try to be more ambitious in your defense/counter-attack, and you're going to reject unfavourable peace terms.


Good luck getting any other countries to give up their nukes, with that attitude.
