Well, you can correct me on that. Yes. Ukraine had security guarantees. The Budapest Memorandum. Nuclear weapons are the security guarantees that Ukraine had. Ukraine had nuclear weapons. I do not want to characterize it as good or bad. Today, the fact that we do not have them is bad. Why? Because this is war.
Today we are at war because you unleashed, because you have unleashed the hands of a nuclear power. A nuclear power is fighting against us, against Ukraine and doing what it wants. By the way, even you are now talking about ceasefire, just a ceasefire. Maybe give flowers to Putin. Maybe to say, thank you so much for these years. That was a great part of my life. No, we are not just ready for this.

We had that opportunity. These were our security guarantees. Why am I talking about this in detail? Because if you take the Budapest memorandum, by the way, I discussed this with President Trump.

There were five states that these are not even security guarantees. We now understand that this is not a guarantee of security because on the one hand, these are security guarantees, but there was an English word, as far as I understand, assurance. It is translated as assurance.
