Zelensky won't sign natural resource deal that 'will be paid by 10 generations of Ukrainians'

Aid given to #Ukraine is not a debt. It was given as grants.

It's just the old Trump #BaitAndSwitch.

Plus he says #security guarantees must be included in any deal.

💯 👍

Stay strong, sir!

Excellent point, and not one I've heard yet made. Not recently, anyway.

For those, like me, who've forgotten about the Budapest Memorandum, signed to by the US, #Russia & UK 30 years ago -

I think you should be patting yourself on the back big time:

Just heard Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL05) refer to the #BudapestMemorandum - the first time I've heard it mentioned in the #media re #Ukraine in current times.

Thank you for bringing it up! It's a very imp point. 👏👏👏
