Zelenskyy demands nuclear weapons from West
Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the West should give Ukraine nuclear weapons and send its contingent to the country since it does not accept Kiev into NATO, TASS reports
As Zelenskyy noted, Ukraine’s path to NATO may take ‘years or decades’ because of its partners. Therefore, Zelenskyy suggested giving Ukraine ‘back nuclear weapons and missile systems’. He urged the West to help finance an army of one million troops.
Kiev has repeatedly stated its desire to become a full member of NATO as soon as possible; in September 2022, Ukraine applied for NATO membership on an accelerated basis. On January 16th, Zelenskyy complained that Ukraine’s entry into NATO was opposed by Hungary, Germany, Slovakia and the US.
