00:00
OK, Sir Gerald.
00:01
If I may say, that is an absurd analysis, forgive me, but what we should be looking
00:07
at is the Budapest Memorandum of December 1994, which was signed by Boris Yeltsin on
00:15
behalf of the Russian Federation, by President Bill Clinton on behalf of the United States,
00:21
by Prime Minister John Major on behalf of the United Kingdom, and the then-Ukrainian
00:26
President under which Ukraine agreed to give up its entire arsenal of nuclear weapons,
00:32
in return for which its independence, its sovereignty, and its existing borders was
00:37
to be respected by the parties thereto.
00:40
I'm afraid that President, well, of course, Russia is in flagrant breach of that agreement
00:45
that was signed by Boris Yeltsin, but I'm afraid the President of the United States
00:49
is also now in breach of that agreement by tantamount to agreeing to allow the borders
00:55
of Ukraine to be changed from what they were in 1994, and even to be changed without consulting
01:02
the Ukrainian people, let alone their President.
01:06
I think this is utterly shameful, leaving the United Kingdom as the only man standing
01:10
prepared to honour that agreement of 1994.
