Technically this was never submitted to the Senate and therefore never signed as a treaty. It is legally null and void.

This still floors me that the Ukrainians accepted this fact and still got rid of their nukes. Given it was politicians making the promises, it seem a bit like paying for insurance but never getting anything in writing in return. "We will cover you Trust us."
