What do you mean?

Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum, and in return Ukraine gave up their nuclear deterrent.

The memoranda, signed in Patria Hall at the Budapest Convention Center with US Ambassador Donald M. Blinken amongst others in attendance,[3] prohibited the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, "except in self-defence or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations." As a result of other agreements and the memorandum, between 1993 and 1996, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons

Are you going to argue that Russia is acting in self defense?

The Budapest Memorandum was violated and therefore nullified before 2014. It literally says that in your wikipedia article

Where does it says so? Can you point to that specific section of the text? I've just checked and must have missed it, it wasn't there.
