These words were said by Ukrainian parliamentarian Goncharenko. If he says this at home, we can not do it. But he said it during the Munich Security Conference, and that had to be taken seriously.
Because, he said this on behalf of Ukraine, and it is certain that Zelensky arranged for him to say this in advance.
According to a number of domestic and foreign ** reports, including reference news, on February 17, Ukrainian parliamentarian Goncharenko said that unless Ukraine obtains full NATO membership, it will have no choice but to develop or otherwise obtain nuclear **.
It is worth mentioning that at the Munich Security Conference on the 17th, he directly asked US Secretary of State Blinken what options Kyiv has against Moscow other than "becoming a member of NATO", forming an alliance with a "nuclear power" or "restoring our nuclear capabilities"?
However, Blinken dodged the issue and ignored it.
So, Goncharenko, who was a little annoyed, posted on social platforms on the evening of the 18th complaining that Blinken did not answer his question, and said: "I will once again say directly and openly: I support Ukraine to have nuclear ** again." I think it's the only option we have to survive. And then make public his assertions: "If NATO does not want to accept us", then "a nuclear bomb must be made." He also said that Kyiv would gladly "endure" the sanctions imposed on it for violating the NPT.
Goncharenko also claimed: "We don't need 1,000. We need 20. ”
Not to mention that Ukraine really has the potential to resume possessing nuclear **.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine became independent and received a large number of nuclear powers, becoming the world's third nuclear power after the United States and Russia.
However, independent Ukraine has no national history in history, so its national leadership lacks experience in governing the country, let alone in international struggles. As a result, the former US ** Clinton fooled that he would provide protection to Ukraine and asked Ukraine to destroy its nuclear **. And Ukraine stupidly really believed it, and in 1994 destroyed all the nuclear **, a total of more than 1,000.
In other words, Ukraine has the ability to create nuclear **.
And shortly before the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in 2022, Zelensky had said that Ukraine might strive to restore its nuclear status.
However, Danilov, secretary of the Ukrainian and Defense Councils, also admitted last year that Ukraine has almost no chance of producing nuclear weapons on its own.
This is also logical, because Ukraine, which is in the crisis of war or even national destruction, does lack the basic conditions for the production of nuclear **. But this does not mean that Ukraine really cannot build nuclear ** during the war. As long as he wants to, it's quite possible.
However, Danilov also hinted that Ukraine could eventually have a Western-made nuclear arsenal. I also believe that both the United States and the United Kingdom have the possibility of providing Ukraine with nuclear weapons, especially tactical nuclear weapons, which have long been included in the research of the United States.
So, can Ukraine really have a nuclear ** in the end? I think, it's hard. Because the current Ukraine has lost time to create nuclear **. The possibility of the United States, Great Britain and France providing nuclear ** exists, but the probability is very low.
The Russia-Ukraine war, perhaps within the summer or even before, ended because of Ukraine's defeat. How can Ukraine have time to make a nuclear **? Russia will not give Ukraine the time and opportunity to create a nuclear **.
