The fourth paragraph of the memorandum provides that Britain and the United States must respond to a nuclear threat against Ukraine.
Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov called on the UN and the IAEA to send a monitoring mission to Ukraine against the backdrop of claims by the ruling regime of the Russian Federation about a “dirty bomb”. In addition, he added that Kyiv demands that the fourth paragraph of the Budapest Memorandum be applied. About this Ukrainian official reported his Twitter account.
According to him, “the world must respond to Russia’s nuclear blackmail.”
“Every day the Ukrainian army frees our land from Russian filth. The opinion about the “dirty bomb” is disgusting for us,” the head of the Defense Ministry emphasized.
The fourth paragraph of the Budapest Memorandum provides: Russia, Great Britain and the United States must respond if Ukraine becomes the victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression using nuclear weapons.
These countries, according to the document, should seek immediate action from the UN Security Council to provide assistance to Ukraine as a member of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, which does not possess nuclear weapons.
It will be recalled that Reznikov earlier rejected Shoigu’s accusations of a “dirty bomb” and added that the Russian Federation usually blames others for exactly what it does.
