Ukraine has criticised the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, marking its 30th anniversary, for failing to provide the promised security assurances in exchange for relinquishing its nuclear arsenal.
Kyiv argues the agreement serves as a cautionary tale of flawed security strategies, urging NATO and its allies to prioritise Ukraine's interests in constructing Europe's security framework.
The foreign ministry called on the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and China—signatories or parties to the memorandum—to support robust security guarantees, emphasising that NATO membership is the only effective deterrent against further Russian aggression.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated his rejection of previous frameworks like the Minsk Agreements, calling them ineffective and dangerous precedents.
As NATO foreign ministers meet, Ukraine is pushing for an invitation to join the alliance, warning against temporary ceasefires that leave it vulnerable to future Russian threats. Russia remains firmly opposed to Ukraine’s NATO integration, viewing it as a direct security threat.
