Ukraine Clarifies Position on Nuclear Armament
Recent reports suggest Ukraine has enough plutonium to construct rudimentary nuclear warheads similar to those used in World War II, potentially developing these within months if US military aid is withdrawn. A briefing paper, reportedly prepared for Ukraine's Ministry of Defence, highlights that Kyiv could utilize its spent nuclear fuel to create a significant number of low-yield tactical warheads. Despite Ukraine's denuclearization in 1996, the country still operates nine nuclear reactors, providing access to essential materials and expertise. However, the Ukrainian government has denied any intention to pursue nuclear weapons, reaffirming its commitment to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The speculation follows President Volodymyr Zelensky's ultimatum to NATO, suggesting Ukraine might consider nuclear armament if not granted membership, though he later clarified this position. The situation is underscored by ongoing geopolitical tensions, with the Biden administration emphasizing continued support for Ukraine against Russian aggression.
