Do you have something of value to add to the discussion or are you just trying to provoke a response?

I'm sure your aware countries can be allied outside a formal allince structure. But sure if it makes you feel better Ukraine has no allies.

These are not Ukraine's allies, they just want to keep Ukraine "in the fight".
Your "...the overall cynical behavior" means that we may have a different concept of "allies".

(US was providing Iran with weapons during the Iraq-Iran War, they were "allies"? And Iraq, US and Saddam Hussein allies too?)

My response was to the advertised conditions for those signing up for service many have been promised support roles in the rear only to be sent straight to the front with minimal training ,I could go into detail high levels of H.I.V and why again not mentioned to potential recruits ,the narrative of the state media would have potential recruits believing of the promises on signing being met certainly promising accommodation and even basic needs has not been shown to be a priority

You are refer to the political term "Ally". No, the EU/NATO/other supporting nations are no allies in terms of a contractual allignment.
But they are allies in terms of a noncontractual agreement to support the Ukraine and to stop the Russian aggression (in fear of becoming the next victims).
Can we agree to this interpretation?
