Why Should Ukraine Acquire Nuclear Weapons?

The acquisition of nuclear weapons is vital to Ukraine’s survival

Key Judgments for Ukraine to Get Nuclear Capability:

• The moment when Ukrainian cities could be entirely destroyed by a Russian nuclear attack with a Russian hypersonic nuclear missile, Ukraine’s nuclear-capable friends would not be able to save her instantly. Only Ukraine’s acquisition of its own nuclear weapons could thwart Russia’s decision to launch a nuclear attack finding with the conundrum that there would be a surviving Ukraine with striking back nuclear retaliation power.
• Ukraine has the economic capability to cover the purchase of nuclear materials and installation costs.
• Ukraine may conduct her first nuclear test somewhere in an assessed area of ​​her vast territory to demonstrate her nuclear capabilities toward Russia.
• A devastating nuclear attack by Russia would not only destroy the C4ISR Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance system of Ukraine, but would raze Ukraine’s land, people, commerce, livelihoods, society, and state infrastructure in an instant. Today, Russia’s aggression poses a serious and imminent threat to non-aggressive and innocent Ukraine. Only by possessing a nuclear capability, Ukraine can repel an impending attack.

• Nuclear disarmed Ukraine cannot counterbalance the nuclear threat of the Russian Federation. When her nuclear-capable friends such as the US, France, and the UK have failed to send their own troops and fighter jets to Ukraine, installing nuclear facilities in Ukraine by her friends can not be expected anymore.
• Ukraine has the resources, intelligence, expertise, and enough land to hide her nuclear facilities against Russian anti-nuclear espionage or covert raid.
• It could be likely that during a nuclear crisis impending on Kayiv, her allies with a previous commitment to nuclear security (1994, and, ironically one of the guarantors was Russia) to preventing a nuclear strike could retreat from their decision leaving Ukraine in the middle of nowhere.
