“As for Zelensky’s statement specifically, I would say that this is a trend that the current Kiev regime is trying to generate, this is a revision of various kinds of international agreements in which Ukraine participates.
This revision is in favor of obtaining some kind of unilateral benefits and those benefits that damage European security, undermine European security, ”Olenchenko explained.
He stressed that this is not the first time the Ukrainian authorities have taken steps to undermine both European and international security.
“What does it mean to return to the status of a nuclear state?
That is, the issue goes into the plane of the spread of nuclear weapons... Ukraine is also a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
The next step, she will say that she wants to get out of there, ”the expert added.
The analyst called Zelensky's statement "irresponsible" and "beyond his authority."
Earlier, Ukrainian President Zelensky announced his intention to initiate consultations within the framework of the Budapest Memorandum, while he did not rule out a review of Ukraine's refusal of nuclear weapons.
