'Not a single day did this document work' — Zelensky on 30th anniversary of Budapest Memorandum
"Today marks 30 years of the #Budapest #Memorandum. Ten years of war. Not a single day did this document work," Zelensky said.
"And because of this, everyone in the world will now know that a mere signature — by any state — or any assurances or promises are not enough for security."
According to the Budapest Memorandum, the signatory countries — the U.K., Russia, and the U.S. — pledged to be guarantors of Ukraine's independence, as well as sovereignty, and refrained from using weapons or economic pressure against Ukraine. In exchange, Ukraine renounced its #nuclear status.
