    The Budapest Memorandum was violated and therefore nullified before 2014. It literally says that in your wikipedia article

      On 4 March the Russian president Vladimir Putin replied to a question on the violation of the Budapest Memorandum, describing the current Ukrainian situation as a revolution: “a new state arises, but with this state and in respect to this state, we have not signed any obligatory documents”.[32] Russia stated that it had never been under obligation to “force any part of Ukraine’s civilian population to stay in Ukraine against its will”. Russia suggested that the US was in violation of the Budapest Memorandum and described the Euromaidan as a US-instigated coup.

      That’s your level of proof, because Putin said so?

      Where does it says so? Can you point to that specific section of the text? I’ve just checked and must have missed it, it wasn’t there.
