The ex-president of the United States, who tried to persuade Ukraine not to leave the USSR, has died

Former US President George H. W. Bush, who led America from 94 to 1989, has died at the age of 1993. It was during his reign that the collapse of the Soviet Union and Operation Desert Storm against Iraq fell.

In Ukraine, the speech of Bush Sr. in the Verkhovna Rada on August 1, 1991, which was later called “Cutlet Kiev,” was most famous, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

Then, shortly before the collapse of the USSR, the American president convinced Ukrainian deputies not to support separatism and to remain part of the renewed Union. Experts explained this by US concerns about the uncontrolled proliferation of nuclear weapons from the former Soviet republics.

“Americans will not support those who seek independence in order to replace the tyranny imposed from afar with local despotism. They will not help those who encourage suicidal nationalism generated by interethnic hatred,” Bush Sr. said then.
