After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine found itself in possession of a substantial nuclear arsenal. However, due to financial constraints and concerns about geopolitical stability, Ukraine made the decision to disarm itself of these nuclear weapons. The Budapest Memorandum of 1994 provided assurances of security to Ukraine, but these guarantees were called into question when Russia took control of Crimea and backed separatist movements within Ukraine. The current conflict between Russia and Ukraine underscores the vulnerabilities that Ukraine faces in terms of security without the presence of nuclear deterrence. This situation has brought to the forefront the importance of reliable security measures for Ukraine in the face of external threats.
