The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues. Was it wrong for Ukraine to give up nuclear weapons?

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is still going on. The present situation of Ukraine has a lot to do with their nuclear-free policy, because without nuclear weapons, national security and territorial integrity cannot be guaranteed, and it will not be so passive.

As one of the successors of the Soviet Union, Ukraine inherited many nuclear weapons from the Soviet Union when it disintegrated. Ukraine will become a big country if it develops well. After all, at the beginning of independence, the territory area reached more than 600,000 square kilometers and the population was more than 5 1 10,000. However, the development of Ukraine is not optimistic. With the deterioration of Russian-Ukrainian relations, Ukraine's national strength is very weak, and it was very regrettable to give up nuclear weapons that year. After all, there is no card now.

Without nuclear weapons, national security and territorial integrity cannot be effectively guaranteed. Former Ukrainian Presidents kravchuk and Kuchma, who advocated the policy of denuclearization, should bear the main responsibility for the current situation in Ukraine. After the signing of the Budapest Memorandum, although Ukraine dismantled its nuclear arsenal, it failed to obtain security guarantees from the United States, Britain and Russia. Ukraine gave up the title of "the third nuclear power in the world", but only got a stack of blank paper.

Before signing the agreement, Ukraine had nearly 3,000 nuclear warheads, more than the sum of Britain, France and China. But now Ukraine is so humiliated that it needs to pray for nuclear protection from the United States. At the beginning, the short-sightedness of Ukrainian leaders caused irreparable losses to Ukraine, so Ukraine is now in this state, which has a lot to do with the denuclearization policy pursued by their country before.
