Didn’t Ukraine have more nuclear weapons than anyone not so long ago? Why so weak now?

Ukraine give up the weapons sited on their territory because they did not have operational control of those weapons this was located in that part of the former Soviet Union known as Russia, doh. And I doubt that their arsenal outnumbered the US in any case. You’ll find out how weak they are when they’re re-supplied by their US Allie’s and you can stick your sneer up your Tankie arse.

In 1994, Ukraine signed the so-called Budapest Memorandum, joining the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty as a non-nuclear weapons state and agreeing to give up what was then the world’s third-largest arsenal. In return, Russia, (also the United Kingdom, and the United States) promised that they would not attack Ukraine. This explains Ukraine’s reluctance to take any promises from Putin at face value.
