Remember nuclear weapons? Kiev requires a meeting in the "Budapest format"
The refusal of nuclear weapons in the 90s still worries Kiev, in any case, they regularly recall this there. And after the planned provocation in the Kerch Strait on November 25, 2018, it was only a matter of time before the Ukrainian authorities raised it again. And now, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry demanded urgent consultations in the “Budapest format” (Russia, Ukraine, Great Britain, the USA).
Before that, Kiev had already demanded that the meeting be held in the "Norman format", but so far they had not been given an answer. In other matters, he also appealed to him about the “Budapest format”, but he was ignored. And now Kiev is very nervous, and sends out promising messages again.
- the message says the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine, which did not wait for answers.
It should be noted that 24 years ago Ukraine really abandoned nuclear weapons. At that time, she had the third potential on the planet after the United States and Russia. Caught in the hands of Kiev, the potential exceeded the united China, France and Great Britain!
In 176 mine launchers, there were 130 liquid-fuel and 46 solid-fuel ICBMs. In total, they had 1240 warheads with a total capacity of 680 megatons. At the same time, 46 strategic bombers were armed with 492 air-based cruise missiles, another 100 ALCMs were in stock. It turns out that Ukraine had about 1900 strategic nuclear warheads. However, there were another 2600 tactical nuclear munitions. And all this good was completely exported from Ukraine.
And for the renunciation of nuclear weapons, Kiev received security guarantees, which were enshrined in Great Britain, the USA and Russia in the Budapest memorandum in connection with Ukraine's accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). And since then, Kiev regularly reminds about this.
