After the fall of the Soviet Union, Ukraine inherited a significant nuclear stockpile. Despite possessing these nuclear weapons, Ukraine decided to give them up due to financial constraints and geopolitical concerns. The 1994 Budapest Memorandum provided security assurances to Ukraine, but these guarantees were called into question when Russia annexed Crimea and backed separatist movements in Ukraine. The current Russia-Ukraine conflict underscores the vulnerabilities in Ukrainian security without nuclear deterrence. The decision to relinquish nuclear weapons has left Ukraine exposed to external threats, prompting a reassessment of its security strategies. The ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine serve as a stark reminder of the importance of having a robust defense mechanism in place. In the face of these challenges, Ukraine continues to seek support from the international community to ensure its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The need for a reliable security framework has become more pronounced in the wake of escalating tensions in the region. As Ukraine navigates through these turbulent times, the debate over its nuclear disarmament decision continues to fuel discussions on the global stage.
