Council of National Security and Defense of Ukraine instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately turn to the signatories of the Budapest Memorandum 1994 for consultations on the situation in the east of Ukraine.
This was after the meeting with the participation of the National Security Council President Poroshenko told the deputy secretary of the NSDC Michael Koval.
"The Council has asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs immediately appeal to States that have signed the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, regarding the consultation on the situation in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions", - he said.
Also added Koval, "Ukraine asks for help in the UN Security Council, NATO, EU, OSCE States - strategic partners of Ukraine." "Our country is counting on help from the United States, in particular, by providing a special status of major non-NATO ally of the United States," - said Koval.
According to him, the National Security Council presented the relevant documents for signature by the President.

Sounds similar to the Munich Agreement of 1938.
The treaty is a solemn obligation unless the “Leader of the Free World” is the replay of Neville, only darker! A treaty is only a treaty if he agrees with it!
Good luck with that....
Bill Clinton signed it, which means it isn’t worth the paper it is printed on.
A Russian signed it so you can wipe your ass with it.
Ditto for Clinton signing it. The same guy that killed Yugoslavia.
Horsefeathers.
Was the Budapest memorandum submitted to the Senate for ratification? Can the President make treaties on his own?
Didn't think so.
Wonder why no one trusts us?
A memorandum is not a treaty of any kind and can be seen as void due to the fall of the govt and a change in constitutional order.
This one reason why I am glad that we primaried Senator Lugar a few years ago. He, McCain, Obama, Clinton, etc.. were FOOLS.
Never mind the part of the agreement that was between signatories Russia and Ukraine?
Right??!!
No concern of ours.
See my tag line.
No concern of ours?
Allies are going to be thin on the ground.
