Former US President Bill Clinton said that in 2011 he realized the inevitability of a Russian special operation. According to him, after discussing with Vladimir Putin the Budapest memorandum in Davos, it became clear that it was “only a matter of time”.
“He said, ‘I don’t agree with this and I don’t support him, I’m not affiliated with him’, from that day on I knew it was just a question time,” Clinton told the media. Financial Times.
Recall that earlier the ex-president of the United States regretted the fact that in 1994 he forced Ukraine to abandon nuclear weapons.
“I feel a personal contribution because I got them to agree to give up their nuclear weapons,” Clinton said.
Recall that earlier, Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Oleksiy Makeev said that the country is considering revising its status as a nuclear-weapon-free zone. According to him, Western partners have not fully provided security support.
The diplomat noted that the Kyiv authorities are ready to start a discussion on the nuclear status. However, he clarified that he “doesn’t have a ready-made proposition of what that might look like.”
