After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine found itself in possession of a substantial nuclear arsenal. However, due to financial constraints and concerns over geopolitical stability, Ukraine made the decision to surrender these nuclear weapons. The Budapest Memorandum of 1994 provided assurances of security, but these guarantees were called into question when Russia annexed 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 a nuclear deterrent. The fallout from this situation has raised significant concerns about Ukraine’s ability to defend itself effectively. The need for reliable security measures has become all the more apparent in light of these events.
