1991, the "Red Empire" Soviet Union collapsed. Ukraine inherited more than a thousand intercontinental ballistic missile nuclear warheads, and a large number of tactical nuclear weapons .
If you rank simply by military strength, Ukrainian
can definitely be called the third in the world. What surprised the world countries was that shortly after independence, Ukraine suddenly decided to use all nuclear weapons .
This is the stupidest decision since Ukraine's independence.
In July 1992, Ukraine, which had just been independent for less than a year, suddenly announced that it would destroy all nuclear weapons in China! Ukraine's first president, Kravchuk, , even publicly stated: "Although there are nuclear weapons, Ukraine is like the monkey of grenade . The main reason why Ukraine destroyed nuclear weapons is the mystery of the United States, Russia and other countries. As a Ukraine with an area of only 600,000 square meters, it has a total of thousands of nuclear weapons. Although the control is not in their hands, the huge number of
still makes countries around the world fear
. In order to completely eliminate hidden dangers, the United States and Russia have continuously threatened Ukraine to tempt it. While putting pressure on Ukraine, While making a series of aid commitments to Ukraine. The United Kingdom and the United States said that as long as Ukraine destroys nuclear weapons, they will not only provide security guarantees to Ukraine, but also provide economic assistance. Ukraine is in the serious economic crisis. Compared with nuclear weapons, they need economic assistance more, so Ukraine quickly agreed to the requirement to destroy nuclear weapons. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Nookran also inherited a terrifying amount of military equipment. There were more than 60 strategic bombers, including 219 " bombers, 24 "bear" bombers and 31 bombers. The total number is almost twice that of Russia, but due to the continued decline of Ukraine's economy, various tactical weapons were sold or dismantled in order to repay debts. Ukraine, which lost all deterrence, was soon abandoned by the United States. The economic aid promised was far away, which also led to the economic situation of Ukraine after independence, and the glory was no longer there.
