He said that his party is addressing the leaders of the United States, Britain, France and China, who have signed the Budapest memorandum on nuclear disarmament of Ukraine, and demand that they fulfill their obligations to Ukraine. Separately, he turned to Donald Trump.
“You can conclude a direct military agreement between the United States and Ukraine outside of NATO. You concluded such agreements with Afghanistan, Israel, and other countries, but none of them gave up nuclear weapons. We demand that the United States enter into a direct military agreement with Ukraine in order to implement the Budapest Memorandum and stop Russian aggression,” Lyashko demanded.
It should be noted that in diplomatic practice, a memorandum is not a guarantee, but merely a document outlining one's views on a particular issue. At the same time, lawyers point out that Ukraine was the first to violate the Budapest Memorandum.
As a reminder, Lyashko previously reported that American authorities had revoked his ten-year visa to the United States.
