Memorandum on Security Assurances in connection with Ukraine's accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons

Budapest, 5 December 1994

The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,

Welcoming the accession of Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as a non-nuclear-weapon State,

Taking into account the commitment of Ukraine to eliminate all nuclear weapons from its territory within a specified period of time,

Noting the changes in the world-wide security situation, including the end of the Cold War, which have brought about conditions for deep reductions in nuclear forces.

Confirm the following:

The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act, to respect the Independence and Sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.

The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, and that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.

The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act, to refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.

The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon State Party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used.

The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm, in the case of the Ukraine, their commitment not to use nuclear weapons against any non-nuclear-weapon State Party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, except in the case of an attack on themselves, their territories or dependent territories, their armed forces, or their allies, by such a state in association or alliance with a nuclear weapon state.

The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland will consult in the event a situation arises which raises a question concerning these commitments.

This Memorandum will become applicable upon signature. Signed in four copies having equal validity in the English, Russian and Ukrainian languages.

Historic context

The Budapest memorandum seems to work until the Rissian invasion into Ukraine and annexation of Crimea by the Russian troops.
Since 2014.02.20, the Budapest memorandum is kept in the unilateral way: the officials of Russia, the USA and the UK seem to forget about it, as sell as about the agreement between Russia and Ukraine about the border, see "1997.05.31.Договор" and "1999 постановление о государственной границе". Since that the surrogates of those agreements, know as Minsk Protocol [6] and its sequences are discussed.

Some authors claim, that, within a year since the [[Budapest memorandum,] is broken, Ukrainian military forces had been recovered their nuclear potential [7].

2017.05.10, Yuri Rybchinski (Юрий Рыбчинский) indicates, that Ukraine should recover the nuclear status since the Budapest memorandum is broken. [8].

2017.06.28, Vyacheslav Nikonov (Никонов Вячеслав Алексеевич) indicates that Russia may use the nuclear weapon against Ukraine, if troops of NATO enter the Eastern Ukraine [9].

Since year 2022, the representatives of the USA and the UK look at the concentration of Russian troops near the border with Ukraine; the need to help Ukraine to deter the Russian aggression is recognized. [10]

The moral and religious aspects of use of a non-selective weapon against the fascistic country are considered in article I bombed Dresden.
