\nFor several days now, there has been considerable fuss over security guarantees for Ukraine. In a world where few are willing to take effective measures to rein in Putin, there is a need to give the appearance of action. That is why so much attention is being given to new security guarantees for Ukraine.<\/strong>
\nBecause we didn’t have enough guarantees from Budapest in 1994.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In general, it should be understood that \u201csecurity guarantees for Ukraine\u201d are a meme.
This is a joke.
This is a farce.<\/p>\n

In other words, when you hear or read conversations, articles, posts, stories, reels, or news about \u201csecurity guarantees for Ukraine,\u201d it is nothing more than information noise\u2014pseudo-activity. It is emptiness.<\/p>\n

And when you hear about guarantees \u201csimilar to Article 5 of the NATO Charter,\u201d remember: this article has never been invoked in history. NATO members themselves question its effectiveness, which is why they conclude separate bilateral security agreements among themselves.<\/p>\n\t\t
