  3. For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7 ---- Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 that disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE.
