Russia’s ex-president: Ukrainian ‘threats’ to continue atomic program main cause for ‘special military operation’
(MENAFN) Ukraine’s “threats” to continue its atomic program were mainly the cause for Moscow’s “special military operation,” Russia’s previous president stated on Monday.
One of the reasons for achieving the “special military operation” were the “threats” by Ukrainian presidents that hinted continuation of the atomic program, which Kyiv handed over under the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, wrote in a letter on the nation’s VK social network.
“What do we see in contrast next to our own borders? Poor puppets from an inferior state, now weeping bitterly about the decision taken under the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 to withdraw the nuclear arsenal located on their territory and inherited from the USSR,” Medvedev stated, after claims describing South Africa’s accession process to the Nonproliferation Treaty.
Later, Medvedev declared that Ukrainians always perceived Kyiv’s agreement to the international deal as a forced action decided “under harsh pressure from Washington,” noting that this was the case although Ukraine “did not have the means to support the ‘might’ (nuclear weapons) that had fallen to it by chance.”
He also declared Ukrainian presidents, from previous President Leonid Kravchuk to recent President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, have uttered that “they would be happy to use it (nuclear weapons) against us (Russia) and their own citizens (Ukrainians).”
