We understand your concern — that’s precisely why we chose this name.
The original Budapest Memorandum was a broken promise, and we believe that promises matter.
Our work is about turning that failure into a living civic memory — rebuilding trust through citizens, not states.

At the Helsinki Book Fair on the 23rd, I saw a beautifully illuminated map of Ukraine at the booth of Ukrainalaisten yhdistys Suomessa ry — a quiet yet powerful reminder of light, resilience, and culture. 💡🇺🇦

Why does it matter?
When the Budapest Memorandum was violated in 2014, not only borders collapsed—trust did.
It became a symbol of how fragile international commitments can be.
We must make promises verifiable, not just printable.

What is the Budapest Memorandum?
In 1994, Ukraine gave up the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances from the US, UK, and Russia.
It was a promise — made in peace, later broken in war.

In 1994, Ukraine surrendered its nuclear arsenal for security assurances from the US, UK, and Russia—the Budapest Memorandum. Those pledges were later broken, turning the document into a symbol of breached trust.
