    Ukraine gave up those nukes in exchange for security assurances. If Russia is going to go back on its assurance, then Ukraine should be able to go back to the nukes. Fair is fair.

    As a former SSR that held nuclear weapons on its territory before 1968, they even oughta be free and clear with respect to the non proliferation treaty.

      Is that true? If the worst comes to pass, I wonder what the UN will say (not that it matters…)

        what the UN will say

        “Well, they have nukes now, so international law is now more like international suggestions for them”
