Ukraine regaining nuclear weapons 'not going to happen

The chance of Ukraine getting its nuclear weapons back is somewhere between slim and none.

Axar.az reports that this was stated by Keith Kellogg, the U.S. President's special envoy to Ukraine and Russia.

"Let's be honest about it, we both know that's not going to happen," he continued.

"Remember, the president said we're a government of common sense," he said. "When somebody says something like that, look at the outcome or the potential. That's using your common sense."

In 1994, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine agreed to give Russia its nuclear arms in exchange for reassurances from Russia, the U.S. and the U.K. that its sovereignty and independence would be respected.

Notably, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy this week said that if the U.S. cannot guarantee a quick path toward NATO membership, then there are alternative security options Kyiv would accept: nuclear weapons.
