After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kyiv took over a huge nuclear arsenal. However, in 1994 Ukraine, Russia, the United States and Britain signed the Budapest Memorandum, an international agreement on security guarantees in connection with Ukraine’s entry into the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
