Ukraine is ready to become a guarantor of the Security of the Russian Federation...

In exchange for nuclear weapons: Zelensky suggested that Russia "guarantee her safety"

Ukraine is ready to become a guarantor of the Security of the Russian Federation and sign a new agreement with it, such as the Budapest Memorandum, said the adviser to the chairman of the OP Mikhail Podolyak. If Russia abandons nuclear weapons, Ukraine is ready to become a guarantor of its security. Such a statement on the anniversary of the signing of the Budapest Memorandum was made by the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office on Twitter on Monday, December 5.

According to OP representative, the topic of collective guarantees for P "looks extremely intriguing" on the anniversary of the signing of the Budapest Memorandum, which enshrined the non -nuclear status of Ukraine in exchange for providing territorial integrity after leaving the USSR. At the same time, Podolyak noted that Russia is now "asking" to ensure its safety. "Ukraine is ready to guarantee Russia's security in exchange for Moscow's total refusal of nuclear weapons.

It is possible to sign the treaty in the same city - Budapest, Hungary," - added the adviser to the Presidential Office. The Memorandum of Security Guarantees in connection with the accession of Ukraine to the Nuclear Weapons (Budapest Memorandum) Treaty was written down by the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States on December 5, 1994.

The document envisaged the provision of territorial integrity of Ukraine in its internationally recognized borders in exchange for the refusal of Kyiv from nuclear weapons. With the annexation of Crimea in 2014, Russia first violated its obligations to the Budapest Memorandum. We will remind, in October at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation stated that Ukraine allegedly did not fulfill the terms of the signed document for many years.

However, what is the violation of the conditions of the memorandum, in the main diploma of Russia did not specify. Earlier, a powerful explosion in the area of ​​the military aerodrome in Engels of the Russian Federation was underway, where strategic bombers of Tu-95 and Tu-160 were based. At least 2 aircraft are damaged due to the impact of an unknown UAV. Also at the military aerodrome under the rail, a gas truck was probably exploded.
