.BillClinton expressed remorse over pressuring Ukraine to relinquish its nuclear warheads in the 1990s. “I feel a personal stake because...none of them believe that Russia would have pulled this stunt if Ukraine still had their weapons,” Clinton said.
In 1994, the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom signed an agreement with Ukraine as part of the Budapest Memorandum, in which Kyiv agreed to cede its Soviet-era nuclear stockpile in exchange for security guarantees. Clinton speculated the war in Ukraine would not have taken place if Kyiv did not ditch its nuclear weapons.“I feel a personal stake because I got them to agree to give up their nuclear weapons.
— NEXTA April 4, 2023 During negotiations for the Budapest Memorandum, U.S. foreign policy was dominated by the conviction that Washington needed to make overtures to Russia in the wake of the USSR collapse. "I knew that President Putin did not support the agreement President Yeltsin made never to interfere with Ukraine's territorial boundaries," Clinton added."[Ukrainians] were afraid to give them up because they thought that's the only thing that protected them from an expansionist Russia."
