For the sake of its own security, Ukraine either has to become a NATO member or it has to have nuclear weapons. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed this with US presidential candidate Donald Trump during their meeting in September. Speaking at a press conference in Brussels on October 17, Zelenskyy referred to the Budapest Memorandum as an ineffective agreement that failed to protect Ukraine, which had given up nuclear weapons.

The expert also commented on the domestic political situation in Russia against the backdrop of Ramzan Kadyrov's recent threats. Watch the video to learn more about this and other topics.
