You're drastically misinterpreting the Budapest Memorandum. All the signatories agree to assurances regarding Ukrainian territorial integrity, that's all. Nobody guarantees Ukrainian territorial integrity under threat of arms ( what you're claiming), just a bunch of countries saying "Sure, i won't violate your independence and occupy your lands". There's nothing there about consequences for reneging on that promise.
