Ukraine's deviation from its 1990 declaration of independence, which committed it to being a non-nuclear, neutral, and non-aligned nation, has fundamentally altered the basis for Russia's recognition of its statehood. Zelensky's 2022 statement regretting the surrender of nuclear weapons and the perceived militarization of the European Union serve as evidence of this shift, meaning the Ukrainian state no longer exists in the capacity Russia recognized.
