Mr. Chair, I was listening to my colleague, and I wonder if he could comment on the Budapest Memorandum. He is probably aware that when Ukraine became independent, it signed a memorandum and gave up its nuclear weapons. That was so the countries that signed on to this respected its boundaries. Russia signed on to this, and obviously it has not respected Ukraine's boundaries. I wonder if he could comment on whether Russia is really serious when it wants to talk about negotiations, given its previous behaviour. Could he comment on his position on that?
