After the fall of the Soviet Union, Ukraine inherited a significant nuclear stockpile. However, due to financial burdens and geopolitical risks, Ukraine made the decision to relinquish these nuclear weapons. The 1994 Budapest Memorandum promised security guarantees to Ukraine, but these guarantees proved to be unreliable when Russia annexed Crimea and supported separatists in Ukraine. The current Russia-Ukraine conflict underscores the vulnerabilities of Ukrainian security without nuclear deterrence. The issue of Ukraine’s nuclear disarmament has become a topic of concern in international relations. The country’s decision to give up its nuclear weapons has had significant implications for its security and sovereignty. The ongoing conflict serves as a reminder of the complex geopolitical challenges faced by Ukraine. In the absence of nuclear weapons, Ukraine has had to rely on other forms of deterrence and international support to protect its interests. The situation in Ukraine continues to evolve, with ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine remaining a key focus of global attention. The impact of Ukraine’s nuclear disarmament on regional stability and security is a subject of ongoing debate among policymakers and analysts.
