Ukraine's Nuclear Ambitions: A Growing Global Concern
TL;DR Summary
A Ukrainian think tank claims that Ukraine could develop a basic nuclear bomb within months if the US, under Donald Trump, withdraws military aid. The report suggests Ukraine could use plutonium from spent nuclear fuel rods to create a device similar to the 1945 Nagasaki bomb. This comes amid Trump's campaign statements about ending the Russia-Ukraine war and his advisors' calls for Ukraine to enter peace talks. Ukrainian officials have denied pursuing nuclear armament, and the report is not government-endorsed.
