Leaders of U.S. , Russia and Ukraine signed Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances on December 5, 1994 .

Agreement provided security assurances in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear arsenal.

In 2014 , Russia annexed Crimea and fueled a separatist movement in eastern Ukraine .

In February 2022 , Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine .

Ukraine 's Foreign Ministry calls the agreement "a monument to short-sightedness in strategic security decision-making".

The Budapest Memorandum is not the only document Russia signed and violated, Pifer says.

Pifer: "It's a story about just how fragile our system of international law — of international agreements — is" "You have to be able to really invest in your own defense and national security," she says.
