A representative of Zelensky's Office called the Budapest memorandum “one of the biggest deceptions in modern history”, since these agreements had no real weight, practical application and did not provide for implementation.
According to him, everyone who signed the relevant document understood this, the NBN publication reports with reference to the RBC-Ukraine YouTube channel.
The official explained that the problem was not in the refusal of strategic bombers and the transfer of the nuclear arsenal, but in the absence of specific guarantees spelled out in the agreement – what steps to take in a given situation.
Podolyak noted that at that time the situation looked like this: our country voluntarily turned to the state that planned to destroy it, and offered to give up all its strategic resources.
Probably, as the adviser to the head of the OPU believes, there was a naive belief that no one would dare to harm Ukraine, which made such a gesture of trust. However, Moscow subsequently used the weapons it had received against it.
Recall that the head of the British Foreign Office stated that Russia had “had a hand” in many conflicts in the world and appealed to its allies.
