Statement of the Russian delegation in connection with the performance of the Ukrainian representative at the summit on nuclear security, The Hague, 25 March 2014
652-25-03-2014
In connection with yesterday's speech Ukrainian delegate of the Russian delegation considers it necessary to state the following.
First of all, should pay attention to the facts of gross violations of Ukrainian representative agenda respected international forum dedicated to one of the most pressing problems of our time - strengthen nuclear security.
Now essentially propositional Ukrainian representative.
The representative of the Kiev authorities asserted that Russia allegedly violating its promises under the Budapest Memorandum in respect of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. We agree with that categorically can not. The Kiev government that came to power through unconstitutional coup, its policies, especially in relation to national minorities, in essence itself exploded unity of Ukraine. The coup was a blow to Ukrainian sovereignty. Crimean autonomy in these conditions could no longer remain part of Ukraine declared its independence in full compliance with the UN Charter. We are in Budapest did not take themselves to be forced to remain part of Ukraine in its structure against the will of their people. After declaring its independence, the Republic of Crimea held a democratic referendum in which almost 97% were in favor of the people of Crimea entry of their country into the Russian Federation. But that is another story which no relation to the Budapest memorandum nor Ukraine has not.
Thus, from a legal point of view, a reference to the Budapest Memorandum are pointless and politically - illegal.
Ukrainian representative again claimed that Russia allegedly threatens the safety of nuclear facilities in Ukraine and even called for foreign assistance to protect them. This is nothing but an attempt to "dump the blame on others." In the current situation in Ukraine Ukrainian danger of nuclear facilities may be incapacity "New Kiev authorities", but not Russia. We have heard the calls of leaders "Maidan" to undermine passing gas through Ukrainian territory and to cooperate with the professional international terrorists. For completeness, it should be noted also that, despite the openly hostile policies of the current Ukrainian authorities, the Russian Federation continues to comply fully with all their obligations to the Ukraine - and for the supply of nuclear fuel, and for receiving the processing of irradiated nuclear fuel, thereby helping to maintenance of nuclear safety in Ukraine.
Finally, it is regrettable that in the last days MPs belonging to the ruling coalition of the Ukrainian party "Fatherland" and "Punch" made a legislative initiative to withdraw from the Ukrainian Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Attempts Ukrainian representative to dissociate themselves from this position, we do not cause the trust. Above the NPT seriously threatened. We regret that other depository of the treaty pretend not to notice the danger.
We hope that this extremist line in Ukrainian politics to get an objective assessment of the international and meet adequate resistance, including as prejudicing the efforts of the international community to strengthen the nuclear nonproliferation and nuclear security.
