As I understand it, the US is obligated to have a discussion with Russia and the UK (see paragraph 6).

I would be glad to be proven wrong.

Your goals are noble. It is important Ukraine preserves her borders as they were understood when the memorandum was signed. Externally compelled alteration of those borders will mean there is almost no hope of nuclear disarmament within the next hundred years if not longer. Worse; proliferation will continue. The only way to avoid this is to support Ukraine's defence against the invasion that has been ongoing since 2014, and provide such civil and martial support as makes discussion of altering those borders or ceding territory moot. Discussion of these matters has to be as accurate as reasonably possible. The credibility of the words you put forward depends upon reading these things before talking about them. I follow you because I believe your words can be important, and preserving Ukraine's borders is important.

Wikipedia has a great article here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum
