Does the Budapest Memorandum say that Russia will not attack Ukraine, even if Ukraine threatens Russian security? No, it doesn't. Ukranian leaders were stupid - they allowed West Ukraine and East Ukraine to drift apart, and didn't give importance to politically unite their country. Then they invited foreigners to meddle in their internal political affairs. The result is what we see now - a civil war and the breakup of the country, as the superpowers fight for the pieces of Ukraine.
