Ukraine found itself independent and the third-largest nuclear power in the world. Thousands of nuclear arms had been stationed on its soil by Moscow, and they were still there.
In the years that followed, Ukraine made the decision to denuclearize completely. In exchange, it would get a security guarantee from the U.S., the U.K. and Russia, known as the Budapest Memorandum.
Biden’ UK and Russia broke the treaty.
The treaty did not stipulate that the USA would come to their (Ukraine) defense in case of a military attack from one of the other signee’s.
It would be futile to defend Ukraine in a conventional war with Russia. We have the disadvantage of being 2500 miles away. Besides, war with Russia will assuredly lead to WW3 and then the use of atomic weapons. It would have been better to arm Ukraine to the teeth but they chose to go homosexual Woke instead. The death of Ukraine can be blamed on Clinton, Obama (Samantha Power) and Biden. Too late now!
The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances refers to three identical political agreements signed at the OSCE conference in Budapest, Hungary on 5 December 1994 to provide security assurances by its signatories relating to the accession of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
The memorandum was originally signed by three nuclear powers: the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents.
