Dear Ukrainians

Since ruzzia broke the Budapest Memorandum, I was wondering, will your country consider investing in nuclear weapons now?

PS sending love from Lithuania 🇱🇹🫶🇺🇦

I would love for Ukraine to have nuclear weapons, but unfortunately it doesn’t sound very realistic for the foreseeable future.

Technically it's possible. We have the engineering talent. Politically? Our allies will probably be pissed off.
