Bill Clinton's "mea culpa": I am also to blame for the war in
Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton feels guilty for the decision made long ago, obviously with a good intention, but with a result that, over the years, proved far from the desired one.

In an unusual mea culpa, the former US president expressed regret for his role in negotiating the 1994 accord, which forced Ukraine to hand over its entire nuclear arsenal amid pledges that Russia would never invade its neighbor again. little if he did not pose a nuclear threat to it.

 "I feel a personal responsibility because I urged them to agree to give up their atomic weapons. "None of them believe that Russia would have dared to do this now if Ukraine still had its nuclear weapons," said Bill Clinton, former US president.

Clinton made the rare statement during an interview given to Irish radio and television, RTE.

The former head of the White House explained that everything was done in the framework of a good faith agreement, where Kiev was asked to hand over the nuclear arsenal that remained on Ukrainian soil after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The 42nd president was referring to the historic deal sealed after the Cold War, through which then-Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk agreed to surrender about 1,900 nuclear warheads in exchange for security guarantees from the US and the UK, as well as a commitment by Russia to respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

The pact, known as the Budapest Memorandum, was effectively violated for the first time in 2014 when Vladimir Putin annexed Crimea, and in February 2022, the Russian president violated it again with this time a large-scale attack against the neighboring country. which he himself continued to define as a "special military operation".
