Dumbest thing Ukraine ever did.

Eh. The nukes weren’t really usable. No codes, didn’t have the ability to maintain them, the cost of engineering off of them was too high for Ukraine who at the time was doing quite badly. Nukes are actually fairly expensive to make and maintain. Not to mention the research to learn how to make them. Plus the international opposition to trying to learn how to make them.

It helps when you’re a (currently rogue) vassal state of the US.
