The Budapest memorandum also assured no economic coercion, and it applied to Belarus, as well.
Still the USA applied sanctions against Belarus, therefore breaching the memorandum.
That’s also something you don’t hear very much in the news!
- HyprMusic 5y agoProbably because it's largely irrelevant to the matter at hand - Belarus is not the country getting invaded, and Ukraine is not the one that violated the agreement so there's zero justification for an invasion from either Russia or Belarus. If anything, highlighting Belarus's involvement in the invasion serves to demonstrate that Russia's meddling in Belarus's elections was to install a puppet government and is a violation of their independence (and subsequently the memorandum).
- fulvioterzapi 5y agoI condemn any kind of invasion, so I agree with you on that part. It amazes me that only some breaches of the Budapest memorandum are mentioned often, while others are somehow forgotten!
