LUTSK. April 14 (Interfax) - Ukraine will propose a reformatted security guarantees agreement to the United States, Britain and France to replace the Budapest Memorandum, said Ukrainian lawmaker and presidential candidate Petro Poroshenko.
"We will offer the world a new security agreement, which the U.S., Britain and France will have to sign in order to replace the empty Budapest Memorandum," he told residents of Lutsk on Sunday evening.
