In 1991, Ukraine inherited ~1,900 nukes; the 3rd largest arsenal; after the USSR collapsed.
No control; Russia had the launch codes.
In 1994, it signed the Budapest Memorandum, giving up the weapons for security assurances from the US, UK & Russia. By 1996, all nukes were gone

In Russia – Ukraine war only Russia has nuclear weapons.
Russia is not irresponsible like Pakistan.
Still USA & Europe didn’t give long range missiles, planes to Ukraine fearing Russian massive retaliation.
So nuclear weapons was factor in Ukraine for West

They knew Damn-well that
Putin would reject it,
but now they can “justify” supporting Ukraine with MORE weapons in exchange for proceeds from MORE
frozen Russian assets.
The key word here is MORE.
They aren’t doing it out of kindness, it’s all a money-grab! pic.twitter.com/nSnXnp5XfQ— Shane Stumbo (@SimulatedLion) May 12, 2025
