Ukraine won’t accept anything less than NATO membership after failed Budapest Memorandum, Kyiv says
Kyiv urges NATO signatories, including the US and UK, to provide clear, binding security guarantees in light of Russia’s aggression.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proposed a new agreement with signatories of the Budapest Memorandum to provide Ukraine with security guarantees and protect it from Russian nuclear threats.
Zelenskyy offered signatory countries to sign a new security agreement with Ukraine and Russia separately, Ukrainska Pravda reported.
In 1991, Ukraine agreed to abandon its nuclear arsenal – the world’s third-largest upon the Budapest Memorandum- in exchange for signatory countries' commitment to respect the country's independence and sovereignty. However, since 2014, Russia has been violating the borders of Ukraine and occupying its territories.
