Ukraine is continuing its push to become a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) amid calls by a Ukrainian lawmaker for Kyiv to develop nuclear weapons against Russia. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) emphasized this in a statement issued Tuesday, Dec. 3. It described NATO membership as the only viable security guarantee against Russian aggression. "Having the bitter experience of the Budapest Memorandum behind us, we will not settle for any alternatives, surrogates or substitutes for Ukraine's full membership in NATO," the statement read. The Budapest Memorandum of 1994 resulted in Ukraine giving up the nuclear weapons stationed in its country by the Soviet Union, per the Kyiv Independent. In exchange, both Russia and the United States recognized its borders and gave it security guarantees. Thus, the MFA urged the main parties to the treaty – the U.S., the United Kingdom, France and China – to support Ukraine's NATO membership.
