Zelenskyj: Se il diritto internazionale fosse stato preso sul serio, la Russia avrebbe dovuto affrontare conseguenze reali nel 2014, quando occupò il territorio ucraino. Ciò non è accaduto: c’erano solo parole. Ecco perché l’Ucraina ha bisogno di garanzie di sicurezza forti e giuridicamente vincolanti, non di un altro Memorandum di Budapest.

spit the truth king. EU is a weak ass bitch

Hahaha dam right. Keep bringing up the Budapest memorandum and let the Americans argue that there was simply a misunderstanding of expectations of Ukraine and not a welching on America’s part.

Yes Americans have argued this point online to me so many times and I’m sure theyll appreciate the point Zelensky is making now 😛 leave no space for ambiguity this time welchers.

>legally binding security guarantees

All treaties reiterated by the Budapest Memorandum (yes, the Memorandum mostly reiterates other international treaties) are legally binding, and they fail. Stop that nonsense about “the Budapest Memorandum is not legally binding”; Russia is violating the UN Charter, the Helsinki Final Act, and the NNPT by invading Ukraine since 2014.

The only two real possibilities are providing Ukraine with real weapons capable of pushing Russians out or bringing NATO troops into Ukraine. Otherwise, it will be one more Budapest Memorandum, nothing more.

All true words!

Nothing Trump says can be trusted, Europe also needs to sign up to a joint defense strategy where Ukraine is included and an article 5 style agreement is made. Attack one attack all.
