A bit of history:

He only said that to live in safety, Ukraine either needs membership in NATO — or nukes. And that Ukraine wants to be in NATO, to be safe.

So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.

If North Korea can do it, a former nuclear power that still has the scientists and engineers who built the Soviet nukes, can certainly do it.

Is it really a good idea for Taylor Swift to publicly endorse Kamala Harris? Most probably inferred it anyway. But, by making a statement, it will likely alienate Republican fans. It seems wiser for entertainers to be politically neutral.

The recent statement by president Zelenskyy created quite a stir — the Ukrainian president said that to ensure its secure existence, Ukraine has only 2 options: to create its own nuclear weapons or to become a member of NATO.

Zelensky said that he only spoke about Ukraine giving up nukes under the Budapest memorandum, in exchange to security guarantees — and still, Russia invaded Ukraine twice in the last 10 years.

There were 10 missile divisions with intercontinental nuclear missiles with a range of 11,000 km.

“But we don’t do nuclear weapons,” stated Zelenskyy, ending his answer, and asked the journalist who posed the question not to move” such messages.
