The teaching assistant, Dr. Muntaha Sabri Mawla Al-Mansouri, in the College of Education for Girls at the University of Basra, participated in the third international scientific conference under the slogan “Human Sciences and the Requirements of the Age,” which was held by the University of Karbala, Al-Hilla University College, and Masoumeh University.

Participation included presenting a research paper entitled “The Ukrainian Nuclear Program in American-Russian Relations 1991-1994.”

It went to extremes until the beginning of the Ukrainian nuclear program until Ukraine, which belonged to the Soviet Union, possessed the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world. However, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 made the latter refuse to grant it independence until it gave up those weapons and transferred them to Russian territory, and since the United States of America was seeking to grant them The independent countries entered into negotiations with the Russian Federation from 1991-1994, which ended with the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which included the transfer of all Ukrainian weapons to the Russian Federation. This memorandum caused Ukraine to be unable to defend its lands in 2014 and 2022 to the present time.
  
The research aimed to clarify that Ukraine gave up its weapons in 1994, which was the reason for its inability to deter the Russian occupation of its lands from 2014 to the present, which caused tension in American-Russian relations because of Ukraine.
