- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for the West to arm Kyiv with nuclear weapons to deter Russian aggression, raising concerns about a potential global catastrophe.
- Zelensky's proposal stems from the frustration with the West's reluctance to provide Ukraine with the necessary means to defend itself and the historical context of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, under which Ukraine gave up its Soviet-era nuclear arsenal in exchange for security guarantees.
- Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin and Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, view Zelensky's remarks with extreme caution and warn of a potential full-scale nuclear exchange.
- The proposal highlights the geopolitical tensions surrounding the conflict, with U.S. President Donald Trump acknowledging the complexities of the situation.
- Zelensky's call for nuclear weapons reflects the dire situation in Ukraine but carries significant risks of sparking a global conflict with catastrophic consequences.
In remarks that reflect his growing desperation to "win against Russia" at all costs, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
has urged the West to arm Kyiv with nuclear weapons – a move that will surely trigger World War III.
Zelensky made this insane proposal in a series of recent interviews, arguing that Ukraine should be given nuclear weapons and advanced missile systems to deter Russian aggression
if its membership to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) remains elusive. This call for nuclear armament, while reflecting the dire situation on the ground, has raised significant concerns about the potential for a global catastrophe.
"Will we be given nuclear weapons? Then,
let them give us nuclear weapons. Will they give us the missiles in the quantities [needed to] stop Russia? I’m not sure of that, but I think it would help," the Ukrainian leader told British journalist Piers Morgan.
"Otherwise, what missiles can stop Russia’s nuclear missiles? That's a rhetorical question. So, let’s do it the following way: Give us back nuclear arms. Give us missile systems. Partners, help us finance the one-million[-man] army, move your contingent on the parts of our state where we want the stability of the situation, so that the people have tranquility." (Related:

Zelensky's interview with Morgan reflected his frustration with the West's reluctance to provide Ukraine with the means to defend itself. But his desperation is rooted in the historical context of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. Under the agreement, Ukraine gave up its Soviet-era nuclear arsenal in exchange for security guarantees from the United States, the United Kingdom and Russia.
More than 30 years on,
Zelensky has lamented this decision. He told the Italian newspaper
Il Foglio during an interview in late January: "If I could go back to 1994, I would only trade our nuclear weapons for something that could truly deter any aggressor – regardless of their political power, territorial size or military strength."
Zelensky's nuclear vision: Hope or horror for the world?
Zelensky's call for nuclear weapons is not a new one. In an interview with American podcaster Lex Fridman, he argued that "nuclear weapons were the security guarantees that Ukraine had."
This sentiment has been echoed by other Ukrainian leaders, who believe that a nuclear deterrent might have prevented the current conflict. However, the international community – particularly Russia – views this proposal with extreme caution.
Russian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova labeled Zelensky's remarks as those of "a madman who sees the planet as a stage for
his deranged fantasies." Russian President Vladimir Putin has likewise been unequivocal in his stance
"What do you think – on the level of common sense – if the country with which we are essentially now engaged in military operations becomes a nuclear power, what should we do? In this case, use all – I want to emphasize this – precisely all the means of destruction at Russia’s disposal. We will not allow this," Putin said in November.
U.S. President Donald Trump acknowledged the complexities of the situation, highlighting the geopolitical tensions that underpin the conflict. "Then Russia has somebody [NATO] right on their doorstep, and I could understand their feelings about that," the 47th chief executive said.
The implications of Zelensky's proposal are profound and potentially catastrophic. The use of nuclear weapons by either Ukraine or the West would almost certainly force Russia to retaliate, leading to a full-scale nuclear exchange that would result in the death of millions and the destruction of entire cities.
Zelensky's insane call for nuclear weapons is a stark reflection of Ukraine's desperate situation. While the proposal may seem like a logical step to ensure the country's security, it carries the risk of sparking
a global conflict that could have catastrophic consequences.
