Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Belarus, Kazakhstan or 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".

If Ukraine has nuclear weapons, they’re not getting invaded. They are persuaded by three other nuclear powers to give up their nuclear weapons on condition that they will not be threatened with nuclear weapons.
Now they are invaded by a nuclear power, although not directly threatened with the use of nuclear weapons, but now we’re into semantics.
At the very least the U.K. and US should have gone to the UN ( which in itself is crazy because one of the permanent members of the security council is the aggressor)
What ever way you slice it, Ukraine has been betrayed for giving up its nuclear weapons.
