and what happened to the assurances our western partners made after the dissolution of the warsaw pact. where are those declarations today? no one even remembers them. but i will allow myself to remind this audience what was said. i would like to quote the speech of nato general secretary, mister warner in brussels on 17th may 1990. he said at the time that the fact that we are ready not to place a nato army outside of german territory gives the soviet union a firm security guarantee. where are these guarantees they're getting? it was very clear about the interest and repercussions of such a move. but does anyone listen? no. in fact, right before the special military operation began, learn ski, use the conference. so deliver the final blow. yeah, your present. i have instructed the foreign ministry to convince somebody to budapest memorandums taking a treat countryside. if it fails to take place or refuses to provide security guarantees to you kind of what we're going to attend, the closest signed in 1994 is no invoice. there was a lot of skill was clueless, the was certainly was that
