Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday he would tolerate no corruption or treachery in affairs of state while his country is struggling to find the means to defend itself against Russian invaders.
Look back at the quote in that article. He’s not talking about wanting nuclear weapons. He’s talking about entering into NATO with its Article 5 protections because the Budapest Memorandum has failed.
Beginning:
I want to believe that the North Atlantic Treaty and Article 5 will be more effective than the Budapest Memorandum.
End:
If they [Budapest Memorandum consultations] do not happen again or their results do not guarantee security for our country, Ukraine will have every right to believe that the Budapest Memorandum is not working and all the package decisions of 1994 are in doubt.
Putin and the Kremlin then twisted those words into nukes, when Zelensky explicitly only wants to replace the failed Budapest Memorandum protections with Article 5 protections. Despite all of Putin’s bluster, he knows damn well the US isn’t going to help Ukraine obtain nukes. The US, the Soviet Union, and other nuclear powers have gone to considerable lengths to avoid nuclear proliferation.
Refuting a poor translation is not “copium”. The original Ukrainian did not have the English connotations of nuclear weapons, but was more along the lines of general preemptive actions.
Does it not give you pause when you hear yourself say weird shit like this? You think Vladimir Putin himself is involved in creating propaganda? The Kremlin is a tourist museum. Listen to yourself, you’re just a parrot repeating gibberish that you don’t understand.
The rest of your comment is just a poor effort to ignore the website I linked you to.
