Article III, Section 3, Clause 1:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

But nowhere in there does it say "declared war" or legally defined "enemy".

Putins Russia is by any definition, an enemy, especially now. And there is clearly adhering to.
