Steiner will turn it around…..Surely Vladolph Putler cannot believe that his yapping away at a conference, with these fantastic claims, takes precedence over hard Intel...
I have a query on the non proliferation / sovereignty guarantee signed by Ukraine and Russia. Were there any other signatories to this
as to sovereignty as Russia has clearly broken the terms (reasons why were clearly pointed out in this thread but I don't recall which post/s).
If there are other signatories does that mean they have an internationally legal right to intervene or even an obligation to do so ?
Pretty sure world military leaders have been watching this conflict closely, and have inside tracks to Intel that would show just how well Russian equipment is performing in combat.

That's what I was wondering. Thank you.The Budapest Accords were signed by UK, US, Russia, France, China, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. The Accords simply provide for Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons and, in return, received signed assurances from the other nations that they would respect Ukrainian territorial integrity. There is no clause in the text calling on signatories to protect Ukraine if one of the other signatories breaks the Accord.

His statements about his advanced Russian Military hardware, was at an international military technical forum.He may well be talking to a domestic audience that is only allowed to see what he permits the media to air anyway. He may not be caring about foreign opinion at all, in my view.
What threat could the UK be to Ukrainian territorial integrity? This isn't the 1850s. What Ukraine needed was assurances that others would not stand idly by whilst the nation was attacked.The Budapest Accords were signed by UK…, in return, received signed assurances from the other nations that they would respect Ukrainian territorial integrity.

I can't imagine the handful of "international" attendees were taking him seriously and were most likely there for the free drinks and salad bar.

I think the point is there were NO guarantors. Ukraine is attacked, dusts off the Budapest Accords and reads the small print that says, we the undersigned countries agree not to mess with your borders, but if anyone else does, including any of the other signatories, too bad for you.Was the U.K. a guarantor?
