Douglas Murray: Russia-Ukraine war is setting a ‘terrible historical precedent’

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is teaching the world a “terrible lesson of the 21st century,” according to author Douglas Murray.
“There is a terrible historical precedent here,” Mr Murray said.
“Ukraine in the 1990s gave up the nuclear arsenal that was on its terrain, and it did so in an agreement where Britain, Russia, America assured Ukraine that they would defend its sovereignty.
“We already see here a terrible lesson of the 21st century … if you give up your nuclear weapons, you can be invaded.
“This is the biggest invitation to say, ‘once you’re nuclear, you can do anything’.”
