How should I know why politicians and bureaucrats do what they do? Nor would I presume that Russia would be a party to the Budapest Memorandum, if it in anyway meant military involvement of NATO allies near Russia? You DID SEE, that Yeltin's signed said memorandum? Don't be daft. JUST ADMIT YOU ARE WRONG AND STOP YOUR WAR MONGERING!

Ukraine gave up on nukes in exchange for peace. It was never ratified by US Senate, or Russian State Duma.
 

"Ukraine: The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances


The memorandum was originally signed by three nuclear powers: the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States. In addition, China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents.

The memorandum included security assurances against threats or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. As a result of other agreements and the memorandum, between 1993 and 1996, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons.

It is, therefore true that the UK and USA (and Russia supposedly) are to supply security in the event of threats to Ukraine’s territorial integrity or political independence."
