I see. Although we can still suggest that was for the better, given the state of the current Ukrainian government, i'd be rather nervous right now if they had nukes, even if that kept Putin away.

Sure. While it does leave them more open to Putin's predations, he is only exploiting the very real divisions within Ukraine. Those divisions are the real problem, and Kiev having nukes wouldn't heal them even if it would keep Putin from staging these kinds of brazen "interventions".

There's a decent chance that they wouldn't have been able to afford to maintain nukes, anyway. The expense is a large part of the reason they were willing to part with them.

Well as i reacall they still haven't actually built the correct barrier wall around Cherynobal as well.
