Today 20 years have passed since the signing of the Budapest memorandum. Why has it failed to provide security assurances for Ukraine?

Unfortunately, it has repercussions beyond Ukraine. Security assurances as a lever in negotiating nuclear disarmament in the Middle East and South Asia, have all but lost their worth. Undeterred, Russian troops are trampling not only on Ukraine’s territorial integrity but also on Mr. Obama’s dream of a nuclear free world.
