Why NATO protect ukraine ? If ukraine did not join with NATO

[Mansory22022]

The question why NATO help so much ukraine If ukraina not joined with NATO.
We live on the world where every countries have rules and regulations by world ageeements what can Do what can not.
Military actions against other countries is allowed per say.
In this case russia don't do nothing against rules?
Second question ukraine did not contribute into nato before but now they asking protection and help how right is that ?
It's like you not paying your insurance monthly fee but when something happens you want funds from insurance.
Also ukraine is rich of resoucres it should be richest country in Europe but it doesn't look like it is even with so much resources some countries who Dont have Even so much resoucres like ukraine but still people live better.

First of, your writing is confusing . Tried to understand what you were trying to pass across and this is the little I was able to deduce;

- Ukraine are a key regional strategic partner that has taken great pains to strengthen and modernize it's military hold and operability with NATO.
 You should realize that NATO are a defensive organization that defends it's members but since Ukraine aren't really one , the least they can do is support from a distance. That's not something I'd call helping so much because as it is the soldiers in Ukraine are well equipped to handle the war and aren't really needing the support of NATO. Although they tried applying in September 30 of 2022,  the application would have to wait till the war is over before they can be accepted.
