Following the illegal occupation of Crimea and Donbas, Zelensky criticized the Budapest Memorandum's architects, emphasizing their lack of accountability despite Ukraine's past disarmament.
Zelensky stated that upon relinquishing nuclear weapons under pressure from the U.S. and Russia, Ukraine was abandoned by Western powers, who ignored repeated pleas for support.
He expressed frustration over the lack of response to Ukraine's communications regarding its territorial integrity, stating, 'Did anyone come, you ask? No. Did anyone reply? No.'
In asserting his autonomy, Zelensky remarked, 'There's no person who could control me,' affirming his commitment to living by laws and standards.
