Former US president Bill Clinton has accused Donald Trump of abandoning Ukraine and moving closer to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “I’m tired of the way we treat our allies like dirt,” he said, according to Zambianobserver.
Clinton signed the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, under which the United States, the United Kingdom and Russia gave security assurances to Ukraine after it relinquished the nuclear arsenal inherited from the Soviet Union. He believes the credibility of those commitments is now being tested by decisions on weapons, intelligence, sanctions and the terms of a possible peace deal.
The criticism comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fears the United States will abandon Ukraine in favour of Moscow, a concern raised in an article published on 18 October (Zelensky’s fears of US abandonment).
