الملخص

TLDRIl video esamina la possibilità che l'Ucraina costruisca una bomba nucleare nel contesto delle attuali tensioni con la Russia. Nonostante le capacità tecniche dell'Ucraina di sviluppare un'arma nucleare siano limitate, si discute l'idea di usare il progetto come leva negoziale per ricevere garanzie di sicurezza, piuttosto che come una vera intenzione di sviluppare l'arma. Il Presidente ucraino Zelensky preferisce cercare protezione attraverso l'adesione alla NATO. Putin ha risposto negativamente, vedendo la possibilità come una provocazione pericolosa e ha promesso una risposta adeguata dalla Russia. Si analizzano anche le implicazioni politiche e il contesto storico, incluso il Memorandum di Budapest che dava garanzie di sicurezza all'Ucraina in cambio del disarmo nucleare.

    Se discute la posibilidad de que Ucrania pueda desarrollar una bomba nuclear en pocos meses, impulsada por la amenaza percibida de Rusia. Un informe presentado al presidente Zelenski por el Ministerio de Defensa ucraniano detalla estos planes, mientras Putin ha expresado su fuerte oposición a que Ucrania posea armas nucleares, advirtiendo de una reacción correspondiente por parte de Rusia.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Ucrania tendría la capacidad de fabricar un arma nuclear similar a la bomba de Nagasaki en unos meses, utilizando plutonio de reactores nucleares operativos. Sin embargo, Ucrania carece de la infraestructura para procesar plutonio, lo cual podría tomar años construir, haciendo poco probable la fabricación secreta de un arma nuclear. Además, Ucrania puede usar esta capacidad como herramienta de negociación para obtener garantías de seguridad.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    Se debate sobre la capacidad técnica de Ucrania para construir un arma nuclear, recordando que antes de 1994 Ucrania era una potencia nuclear. Aunque Ucrania tiene el conocimiento y material nuclear, carece de las instalaciones para procesar el plutonio necesario para un arma nuclear viable, lo cual podría tardar de 5 años a unos pocos meses, según varios informes.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:23:15

    El presidente Zelenski asegura que Ucrania no está persiguiendo armas nucleares sino que busca adherirse a la OTAN para su defensa. Durante el Memorando de Budapest, Ucrania entregó sus armas nucleares a cambio de garantías de seguridad, que Rusia ha violado. Zelenski destaca que la única opción viable para Ucrania es la membresía en la OTAN, en lugar de buscar armas nucleares.

  • 00:00:00
    so it seems that if things get desperate
  • 00:00:02
    for Ukraine they could build a nuclear
  • 00:00:05
    bomb in just mere months the reason is
  • 00:00:08
    simple the reason is singular and that
  • 00:00:10
    reason is Putin this nuclear bomb plan
  • 00:00:13
    was presented to president zalinski by
  • 00:00:16
    Ukrainian Ministry of Defense in a
  • 00:00:18
    briefing paper so let's get into this
  • 00:00:20
    briefing paper see what the plans are
  • 00:00:23
    and then talk about if this is realistic
  • 00:00:26
    or just a speculation best of all we
  • 00:00:28
    already have Putin's reaction on this
  • 00:00:31
    that we covered once before but Putin
  • 00:00:33
    has basically come out and said that
  • 00:00:36
    he's strongly against Ukraine having any
  • 00:00:38
    kind of nukes though like always be sure
  • 00:00:40
    to hit the like button down below to
  • 00:00:42
    help us out with the algorithm and let's
  • 00:00:44
    begin now earlier just before the brick
  • 00:00:46
    Summit that happened in Kazan Russia
  • 00:00:48
    Putin was asked this exact question what
  • 00:00:51
    would Russia do if Ukraine pursued
  • 00:00:53
    nuclear weapons and this was his
  • 00:00:56
    response let's
  • 00:00:57
    listen this is another provocation it is
  • 00:01:00
    not difficult to create nuclear weapons
  • 00:01:02
    in the modern world I don't know if
  • 00:01:04
    Ukraine can do it now it's not so easy
  • 00:01:06
    for today's Ukraine but in general it's
  • 00:01:09
    there are no big difficulties there it
  • 00:01:12
    is obvious how to do it so this is a
  • 00:01:15
    dangerous provocation because any step
  • 00:01:17
    in this direction will meet the
  • 00:01:19
    appropriate reaction this is secondly
  • 00:01:22
    thirdly and most importantly the
  • 00:01:24
    political leadership of Ukraine has
  • 00:01:26
    repeatedly talked about it even before
  • 00:01:29
    the crisis went into a hot phase they
  • 00:01:32
    had already stated earlier that well
  • 00:01:35
    they stated so relatively mildly but
  • 00:01:37
    nevertheless they said that Ukraine
  • 00:01:39
    should have nuclear weapons such a
  • 00:01:41
    threat will get a corresponding reaction
  • 00:01:43
    from the Russian Federation as well I
  • 00:01:46
    can state right away that Russia will
  • 00:01:48
    not allow this under any circumstances
  • 00:01:51
    now another thing that's kind of a
  • 00:01:52
    coincident is the same day the Ukrainian
  • 00:01:56
    report got leaked was the same day NATO
  • 00:01:58
    military committed chair Rob Bowers
  • 00:02:01
    stated something in an interview or at
  • 00:02:03
    least the day that clip went viral on
  • 00:02:05
    social media and he was basically
  • 00:02:07
    explaining that the reason NATO troops
  • 00:02:09
    are not in Russia kicking Russian troops
  • 00:02:11
    butts is because Russia has nuclear
  • 00:02:14
    weapons if it wasn't for nuclear weapons
  • 00:02:16
    NATO troops would already be deployed
  • 00:02:19
    listen to it yourself I'm absolutely
  • 00:02:20
    sure if the Russians did not have
  • 00:02:22
    nuclear weapons we would have been in
  • 00:02:25
    Ukraine kicking them out we would have
  • 00:02:30
    but they have nuclear weapons so it's
  • 00:02:31
    not the same as in Afghanistan now let's
  • 00:02:33
    quickly go over the article now article
  • 00:02:35
    is a bit long and you can all go read it
  • 00:02:38
    at the times it's not paid you just need
  • 00:02:40
    a subscription so you give them your
  • 00:02:42
    email and they'll show you the report
  • 00:02:43
    but basically what the article says that
  • 00:02:45
    Ukraine has the capabilities to build a
  • 00:02:47
    bomb similar to the one that us dropped
  • 00:02:49
    on Nagasaki in just few months but
  • 00:02:52
    Ukraine doesn't have the capabilities to
  • 00:02:54
    enrich uranium to create a nuclear
  • 00:02:56
    reaction so they will likely use
  • 00:02:58
    plutonium that was extracted from fuel
  • 00:03:01
    rods Ukraine still has nine operational
  • 00:03:04
    nuclear reactors and they can get the
  • 00:03:06
    fuel rods from these reactors but then
  • 00:03:08
    later on they clarified that Ukrainian
  • 00:03:11
    would still need a reprocessing plant to
  • 00:03:13
    basically convert this plutonium into
  • 00:03:15
    something that they can use in a nuclear
  • 00:03:17
    bomb and that plant will take years to
  • 00:03:20
    build so because of this chances of
  • 00:03:22
    Ukraine building a nuclear weapon
  • 00:03:24
    especially one in secret is very very
  • 00:03:26
    low on top of that I don't think they
  • 00:03:29
    have a political will to build a nuclear
  • 00:03:31
    weapon cuz it might have some allies
  • 00:03:34
    feeling some way if more and more
  • 00:03:36
    countries get nuclear weapons cuz then
  • 00:03:38
    what's stopping other countries for
  • 00:03:40
    arguing the same thing that they need
  • 00:03:42
    nuclear weapons for their own security
  • 00:03:44
    what's more likely is this may be a
  • 00:03:47
    negotiating leverage for Ukraine where
  • 00:03:49
    they may be sending a message to the
  • 00:03:52
    Future Administration or even Russia
  • 00:03:54
    that they have the capabilities to make
  • 00:03:56
    nuclear weapon if they don't have proper
  • 00:03:59
    security guarantees in fact this is
  • 00:04:01
    something we talked about with Colonel
  • 00:04:03
    hus B and Gordon this morning and here's
  • 00:04:06
    the clip well I think I think they two
  • 00:04:08
    issues here that that we should perhaps
  • 00:04:10
    unpack um you know first first of all
  • 00:04:13
    you know they are asking because of the
  • 00:04:16
    concern that usaid might might um uh
  • 00:04:19
    might might be withdrawn or at least you
  • 00:04:21
    know um paired down and that that's a
  • 00:04:24
    concern for everybody um you know
  • 00:04:26
    especially this side of the pond I could
  • 00:04:28
    tell you um um and you know in the
  • 00:04:32
    reporting the times and and other
  • 00:04:34
    reports around today are also sort of
  • 00:04:36
    saying well you know zalinski mentioned
  • 00:04:39
    this a few weeks ago and some of his
  • 00:04:41
    team are saying well you know we could
  • 00:04:43
    perhaps build a s small nuclear um
  • 00:04:46
    weapon that would we could take out
  • 00:04:48
    airfields in you know in Russia and
  • 00:04:50
    stuff um which which to me is he's
  • 00:04:54
    really saying he's really aiming very
  • 00:04:56
    much at the US British and French
  • 00:04:59
    government saying well I wouldn't need a
  • 00:05:01
    nuclear weapon if we had Storm Shadow
  • 00:05:03
    missiles attacks and scalp and Taurus
  • 00:05:07
    missiles that I could fire into Russia
  • 00:05:09
    sort of thing so I think that seems to
  • 00:05:11
    be the Strategic message coming out of
  • 00:05:14
    ke but if we look at the practicality of
  • 00:05:16
    them building a nuclear weapon well
  • 00:05:19
    until
  • 00:05:20
    1994 um Ukraine was a nuclear Nation you
  • 00:05:24
    know when it was still part of the
  • 00:05:25
    Soviet block you know they had 1,700
  • 00:05:27
    nuclear missiles uh which is
  • 00:05:30
    about five times what the UK has and
  • 00:05:32
    it's about a fifth of what the US has so
  • 00:05:35
    you know very significant player um the
  • 00:05:38
    uh Budapest memorandum signed between
  • 00:05:41
    the US UK and Russia basically took
  • 00:05:44
    those nuclear weapons off Ukraine uh on
  • 00:05:47
    the Proviso that those three countries
  • 00:05:49
    would ensure the security of Ukraine now
  • 00:05:52
    obviously that hasn't happened so one
  • 00:05:55
    can see why zalinski the ukrainians are
  • 00:05:59
    pretty hacked off by it um so when it
  • 00:06:02
    comes on to the practicalities of a
  • 00:06:04
    nuclear device well I think everybody
  • 00:06:07
    knows that um Ukraine from a nuclear
  • 00:06:09
    power situation is massive you know
  • 00:06:13
    before the war 60% of their power came
  • 00:06:15
    from nuclear they've got the largest
  • 00:06:17
    nuclear power station in Europe second
  • 00:06:19
    largest in the world at zapara so
  • 00:06:22
    they've got a lot of nuclear Isotopes a
  • 00:06:24
    lot of nuclear material they could use
  • 00:06:26
    um the report published that the times
  • 00:06:28
    talks about is the ukrainians saying
  • 00:06:31
    they're going to use plutonium
  • 00:06:33
    239 um and they can fashion it into a A
  • 00:06:37
    small basic nuclear weapon about a a
  • 00:06:41
    tenth of the size of the fat boy which
  • 00:06:43
    was the um US nuclear bomb that was
  • 00:06:46
    dropped on Nagasaki back in
  • 00:06:49
    1944 that bomb had a yield of about 21
  • 00:06:52
    kilotons which is
  • 00:06:54
    21,000 tons of conventional explosive
  • 00:06:57
    what the ukrainians are saying they
  • 00:06:59
    could do one maybe one or two kilotons
  • 00:07:01
    so 1 or 2,000 tons of conventional
  • 00:07:03
    explosive that is still a massive bang
  • 00:07:07
    um now could could they do it well
  • 00:07:09
    they've got a lot of plutonium that they
  • 00:07:11
    could use in fact the the fat boy Bal
  • 00:07:15
    only had 6 kg of plutonium it's thought
  • 00:07:18
    Ukraine's probably got seven tons of the
  • 00:07:20
    stuff however this is plutonium spent
  • 00:07:23
    fuel from the nuclear power stations um
  • 00:07:26
    in order to make it viable it would need
  • 00:07:28
    to be reprocessed in other words all the
  • 00:07:30
    impurities and other chemicals around it
  • 00:07:32
    would need to be removed to do that you
  • 00:07:34
    need a reprocessing factory which the
  • 00:07:37
    ukrainians currently don't have there
  • 00:07:40
    was a study done in the US in the 70s
  • 00:07:42
    about the practicalities of making a
  • 00:07:44
    small nuclear device of plutonium the
  • 00:07:47
    conclusion was it was possible um there
  • 00:07:50
    are reports that it would take the
  • 00:07:52
    ukrainians 5 years to build a re
  • 00:07:54
    reprocessing plant but there are other
  • 00:07:56
    reports saying it could they could do it
  • 00:07:57
    in four to six months so I think in
  • 00:08:00
    basic term and the other piece is one
  • 00:08:03
    has to assume that with all the history
  • 00:08:05
    of nuclear weapons that Ukraine's had
  • 00:08:08
    there must be a lot of corporate
  • 00:08:09
    knowledge there'll still be some
  • 00:08:10
    scientists who know what to do so I
  • 00:08:12
    think if you put all that together yeah
  • 00:08:14
    it is possible that Ukraine in 6 to 12
  • 00:08:17
    months could produce a small viable
  • 00:08:20
    nuclear device based on plutonium that
  • 00:08:23
    could yield about one or two kilotons
  • 00:08:25
    they probably have missiles and drones
  • 00:08:27
    that they could launch it on
  • 00:08:29
    but to me it's all it's a messaging
  • 00:08:32
    thing um you know if if if you stop
  • 00:08:37
    helping us we're going to have to go
  • 00:08:38
    nuclear and and absolutely nobody wants
  • 00:08:41
    that because you know presumably if
  • 00:08:44
    Ukraine fires a nuclear weapon into
  • 00:08:46
    Russia Russia's going to far back
  • 00:08:48
    nuclear weapons you know with a lot you
  • 00:08:51
    know a lot lot more which could then
  • 00:08:54
    create a sort of a chain reaction to use
  • 00:08:57
    a nuclear expression that would
  • 00:08:59
    reverberate around the world so yeah I
  • 00:09:02
    personally hope that um our governments
  • 00:09:04
    listen to seninsky and make sure that he
  • 00:09:07
    has everything he needs to do go back to
  • 00:09:09
    our first point you know if they can
  • 00:09:11
    still hold that ground in KK by
  • 00:09:14
    Christmas and Russia runs out of manpow
  • 00:09:17
    then then the the ceasefire that um
  • 00:09:21
    president Trump is talking about uh can
  • 00:09:23
    happen on zelinsky's terms not on
  • 00:09:25
    Putin's terms the big reason this topic
  • 00:09:28
    has come up is because many around the
  • 00:09:30
    world many people who are pro Ukrainian
  • 00:09:32
    are feeling a little uneasy since Trump
  • 00:09:35
    was elected president because he's
  • 00:09:37
    unpredictable and many believe that he
  • 00:09:39
    might try to force a peace deal on
  • 00:09:41
    Ukrainian that ukrainians might not be a
  • 00:09:43
    fan of to fulfill his campaign promises
  • 00:09:46
    now this is something we talked about
  • 00:09:48
    with Ben Hodes General Ben Hodes in our
  • 00:09:50
    most recent podcast so let's listen to
  • 00:09:52
    that and then we'll get into zalinski
  • 00:09:54
    denying that Ukraine has no plans to get
  • 00:09:56
    nuclear weapons I do believe that uh
  • 00:10:00
    President elect Trump thinks that the
  • 00:10:02
    United States has gotten a bad deal I
  • 00:10:04
    mean if if you think in terms of like a
  • 00:10:06
    a real estate guy or business guy that
  • 00:10:09
    that we've gotten a bad deal now I
  • 00:10:11
    believe that uh even though our European
  • 00:10:14
    allies have not many of them have not
  • 00:10:17
    lived up to their uh obligations
  • 00:10:20
    especially some of the most wealthy ones
  • 00:10:21
    like Germany and France and Italy and
  • 00:10:24
    the Netherlands and Norway and Canada um
  • 00:10:28
    the fact is is it's still in our our
  • 00:10:31
    interest our advantage to be the leader
  • 00:10:33
    in NATO because of the access we have in
  • 00:10:35
    Europe what that means for us in the
  • 00:10:37
    Middle East in Africa and and because we
  • 00:10:39
    need allies we don't have enough
  • 00:10:41
    capacity to do everything
  • 00:10:43
    ourself um around the world we need
  • 00:10:45
    allies and most of our best and most
  • 00:10:47
    reliable allies come from Europe as well
  • 00:10:50
    as Canada and Australia Japan and South
  • 00:10:53
    Korea but it is a fair
  • 00:10:56
    criticism for the president to say hey
  • 00:10:58
    we've you guys have been able to have
  • 00:11:00
    these enormous uh wealthy um social
  • 00:11:03
    systems and and health care and all
  • 00:11:05
    these things for your people because
  • 00:11:07
    you're not spending money on defense the
  • 00:11:09
    US is doing it for you that's
  • 00:11:11
    unacceptable to the American people and
  • 00:11:12
    I think that's why Mr Trump talks about
  • 00:11:14
    you know this is not that the the United
  • 00:11:17
    States has not gotten a fair deal here
  • 00:11:21
    and that animates him that animates his
  • 00:11:23
    his uh supporters and so um this is
  • 00:11:27
    where I think it would be wise for for
  • 00:11:30
    Germany and other European leaders to
  • 00:11:32
    say Mr
  • 00:11:34
    President don't turn your back on us but
  • 00:11:37
    we I guarantee you we will do this and
  • 00:11:39
    this and this um because we need
  • 00:11:42
    American leadership we need American
  • 00:11:44
    presence just like you need German
  • 00:11:47
    French Dutch British polish um
  • 00:11:50
    capabilities we will do that and and so
  • 00:11:53
    I think there is room and opportunity if
  • 00:11:56
    you've got the right leadership in
  • 00:11:57
    Europe to act actually move towards
  • 00:12:01
    changing that perception of the US not
  • 00:12:04
    getting a good deal and uh they could
  • 00:12:06
    take pressure off the United States
  • 00:12:08
    actually so that we can focus on China I
  • 00:12:11
    think Europe being proactive instead of
  • 00:12:14
    complaining about Trump or the us or
  • 00:12:18
    ringing their hands would be a a
  • 00:12:21
    positive development YouTube is still
  • 00:12:23
    not a fan of lot of topics we cover and
  • 00:12:25
    that means the videos get restricted and
  • 00:12:27

    Ukraine wants nuclear weapons to protect
  • 00:13:07
    itself against Russia at least that was
  • 00:13:10
    the news all day yesterday because of
  • 00:13:12
    what zalinski said watch it
  • 00:13:15
    yourself so how can we believe in this
  • 00:13:18
    document and how can we trust all the
  • 00:13:20
    partners who guaranteed the protection
  • 00:13:22
    of our territorial integrity and
  • 00:13:24
    sovereignty the answer is very simple
  • 00:13:27
    does it work no this document does not
  • 00:13:30
    work do the other major Partners
  • 00:13:33
    agreements with Russia work no these
  • 00:13:36
    were not only agreements between Ukraine
  • 00:13:37
    and Russia but also between Ukraine and
  • 00:13:40
    all its Partners so in general all these
  • 00:13:43
    agreements did not work out which of
  • 00:13:46
    these big countries all the nuclear
  • 00:13:48
    Powers were affected all of them no only
  • 00:13:52
    Ukraine who gave away the nuclear
  • 00:13:54
    weapons all of them no only one who
  • 00:13:59
    Ukraine who is at War today Ukraine and
  • 00:14:03
    so it turns out that in a conversation
  • 00:14:06
    with Donald Trump I told him it works
  • 00:14:08
    out this way what is the solution or
  • 00:14:11
    Ukraine will have nuclear weapons and
  • 00:14:13
    then it will be a defense for us or we
  • 00:14:16
    should have some kind of Alliance NATO
  • 00:14:18
    we do not know any effective alliances
  • 00:14:21
    today the NATO countries are not at War
  • 00:14:23
    today NATO members are not at war in
  • 00:14:26
    NATO countries people are all alive
  • 00:14:28
    thank God and that is why we choose NATO
  • 00:14:31
    not nuclear weapons we are choosing
  • 00:14:35
    NATO now as every media was reporting on
  • 00:14:38
    this claiming that zalinsky just said
  • 00:14:40
    Ukraine wants nukes Putin came right out
  • 00:14:44
    to say that Russia is not going to
  • 00:14:46
    accept it I'll show you guys that in
  • 00:14:48
    just a second but first like always be

    your likes help us out tremendously in
  • 00:14:59
    the algorithm now first I do want to
  • 00:15:01
    provide some background as to what
  • 00:15:03
    zalinski just said he talks about the
  • 00:15:06
    Budapest memorandum it was signed by the
  • 00:15:08
    US UK and Russia all three countries
  • 00:15:11
    provided Ukraine with security
  • 00:15:13
    guarantees in return for Ukraine
  • 00:15:15
    returning the nuclear bombs to nuclear
  • 00:15:17
    weapons that it had from Soviet eras you
  • 00:15:20
    see when Soviet Union fell apart there
  • 00:15:23
    were four countries that inherited the
  • 00:15:25
    whole nuclear stockpile one of them
  • 00:15:28
    being Russia and other three were
  • 00:15:29
    Ukraine Belarus and Kazakhstan now
  • 00:15:32
    Belarus and Kazakhstan didn't have much
  • 00:15:34
    to begin with but they also quickly
  • 00:15:36
    returned everything to Russia but
  • 00:15:38
    Ukraine was little hesitant and on top
  • 00:15:40
    of that Ukraine had the third largest
  • 00:15:43
    stock bile of nuclear weapons after us
  • 00:15:46
    and Russia now Ukraine didn't want to
  • 00:15:49
    give this up they were actually having
  • 00:15:50
    debates in their Parliament because the
  • 00:15:53
    officials strongly believed that if they
  • 00:15:56
    were to relinquish the nuclear weapons
  • 00:15:58
    they would likely come under attack by
  • 00:16:00
    Russia with benefit of hindsight safe to
  • 00:16:03
    say they were exactly on point but at
  • 00:16:07
    that point us and the West Was extremely
  • 00:16:09
    worried about all this nuclear stockpile
  • 00:16:12
    that Ukraine had mainly because what was
  • 00:16:14
    going on in Yugoslavia as Yugoslavia was
  • 00:16:18
    falling apart us didn't want Ukraine to
  • 00:16:21
    become another Yugoslavia with nuclear
  • 00:16:24
    weapons so it pushed heavily for Ukraine
  • 00:16:27
    to give up its nukes in return us UK and
  • 00:16:31
    Russia gave Ukraine security guarantees
  • 00:16:34
    if Ukrainian borders were to be breached
  • 00:16:37
    everyone involved will provide Ukraine
  • 00:16:39
    with assistance to maintain its
  • 00:16:42
    sovereignty so that's exactly what
  • 00:16:44
    president zalinski is referring to if
  • 00:16:47
    Russia didn't respect the document is
  • 00:16:49
    signed at Budapest memorandum how can
  • 00:16:52
    Ukraine expect Russia to follow any
  • 00:16:54
    future peace deal that is signed that's
  • 00:16:56
    why President zalinski says only way for
  • 00:16:59
    a country like Ukraine to be safe from
  • 00:17:01
    Russia is to either have nukes or be in
  • 00:17:03
    NATO and then he goes on to add that
  • 00:17:06
    Ukraine doesn't want nukes it chooses
  • 00:17:09
    the NATO path it wants to be in NATO
  • 00:17:12
    here listen to the last part again cuz I
  • 00:17:14
    really want to emphasize this he says
  • 00:17:16
    this in the end in the
  • 00:17:18
    clip in NATO countries people are all
  • 00:17:21
    alive thank God and that is why we
  • 00:17:24
    choose and that is why we choose NATO
  • 00:17:27
    not nuclear weapons
  • 00:17:29
    we are choosing NATO now of course Putin
  • 00:17:32
    was not going to let this news go to
  • 00:17:34
    waste he used it again to remind the
  • 00:17:36
    West that Russia is a superpower here
  • 00:17:39
    listen to it
  • 00:17:41
    yourself this is another provocation it
  • 00:17:44
    is not difficult to create nuclear
  • 00:17:46
    weapons in the modern world I don't know
  • 00:17:48
    if Ukraine can do it now it's not so
  • 00:17:50
    easy for today's Ukraine but in general
  • 00:17:53
    it's there are no big difficulties there
  • 00:17:56
    it is obvious how to do it so this is a
  • 00:17:59
    dangerous provocation because any step
  • 00:18:01
    in this direction will meet the
  • 00:18:03
    appropriate reaction this is secondly
  • 00:18:06
    thirdly and most importantly the
  • 00:18:09
    political leadership of Ukraine has
  • 00:18:10
    repeatedly talked about it even before
  • 00:18:13
    the crisis went into a hot phase they
  • 00:18:16
    had already stated earlier that well
  • 00:18:19
    they stated so relatively mildly but
  • 00:18:21
    nevertheless they said that Ukraine
  • 00:18:23
    should have nuclear weapons such a
  • 00:18:25
    threat will get a corresponding reaction
  • 00:18:28
    from the Russian Federation as well I
  • 00:18:30
    can state right away that Russia will
  • 00:18:32
    not allow this under any circumstances
  • 00:18:35
    but at the end of the day Ukraine was
  • 00:18:37
    never saying that it's pursuing nuclear
  • 00:18:39
    weapons sininsky was just recalling a
  • 00:18:42
    conversation he had with former
  • 00:18:43
    president Trump and that's why he used
  • 00:18:46
    the word nukes at the end of the day
  • 00:18:48
    even end of the clip he says that we
  • 00:18:50
    want NATO Ukraine wants NATO and that's
  • 00:18:53
    the path they choose but just a day
  • 00:18:56
    after or maybe the same day I'm not sure
  • 00:18:57
    but the first spee was at the EU Summit
  • 00:19:00
    but at the NATO Summit in the same city
  • 00:19:02
    he got asked this during a press
  • 00:19:04
    conference and this is what he had to
  • 00:19:06
    say um Mr President you just made it
  • 00:19:09
    clear at the EU Summit that the question
  • 00:19:11
    of nuclear weapons would arise for
  • 00:19:13
    Ukraine if it cannot become a NATO
  • 00:19:15
    member so in this context can you tell
  • 00:19:18
    us how long it would take for Ukraine to
  • 00:19:20
    build a nuclear bomb and a question to
  • 00:19:23
    the Secretary General would you
  • 00:19:25
    understand if Ukraine were to build a
  • 00:19:26
    nuclear B uh bomb if it cannot become a
  • 00:19:29
    NATO member thank you you you sometimes
  • 00:19:33
    we create ourselves problems now you
  • 00:19:37
    began to do it so we never
  • 00:19:41
    spoke about that we are preparing to
  • 00:19:45
    create nuclear weapon or something like
  • 00:19:48
    this I said that when Budapest
  • 00:19:51
    memorandum was signed by very
  • 00:19:56
    honorable nuclear
  • 00:19:58
    very powerful nuclear countries there
  • 00:20:01
    was written that Ukraine gives nuclear
  • 00:20:05
    weapon and Ukraine will have from these
  • 00:20:09
    very respectable countries including
  • 00:20:13
    those time Russia China United States
  • 00:20:17
    including them yes that we will have our
  • 00:20:21
    secured territorial integrity and
  • 00:20:23
    sovereignty that what I
  • 00:20:26
    said and I said so it meant that we gave
  • 00:20:30
    nuclear and the these people who've been
  • 00:20:33
    Partners those time they had to give us
  • 00:20:37
    security guarantees and if after that
  • 00:20:39
    Putin began this occupation not once
  • 00:20:43
    during all these years during the
  • 00:20:45
    revolutions during 10 last years two
  • 00:20:48
    times during last 10 years it means that
  • 00:20:52
    it's not very good umbrella for our
  • 00:20:56
    security that's why I said I don't have
  • 00:20:58
    alter alternative except NATO that was
  • 00:21:02
    my signal but we don't do nuclear web
  • 00:21:07
    please don't move these
  • 00:21:09
    messages now important to note during
  • 00:21:12
    the Budapest memorandum China and France
  • 00:21:14
    were not part of it they didn't sign
  • 00:21:16
    that document but they did provide
  • 00:21:18
    Ukraine assurances in a separate deal it
  • 00:21:21
    wasn't as strong that deal compared to
  • 00:21:23
    the Budapest memorandum but it was there
  • 00:21:26
    and that's why he brought up China too
  • 00:21:28
    another interesting story here when
  • 00:21:30
    Ukraine did have nuclear weapons they
  • 00:21:32
    just had the physical nuclear weapons
  • 00:21:34
    they did not have the codes to launch
  • 00:21:37
    them the cods were still in Moscow or
  • 00:21:40
    the central of Soviet Union wherever
  • 00:21:42
    that was and Ukraine didn't have it
  • 00:21:43
    Russia had it but it was pretty much
  • 00:21:46
    expected that if Ukraine kept the
  • 00:21:48
    weapons they could have figured out a
  • 00:21:49
    way to use them either they could just
  • 00:21:51
    take away the Warhead attach it to
  • 00:21:53
    something else or somehow some way they
  • 00:21:55
    could have figured it out now of course
  • 00:21:57
    Ukraine has made needed abundant to
  • 00:21:59
    clear they don't want to promote this
  • 00:22:02
    nuclear fearmongering but you know one
  • 00:22:04
    country that is promoting a nuclear
  • 00:22:06
    fearmongering it's Russia every time any
  • 00:22:09
    question comes up on how West should
  • 00:22:11
    help Ukraine win this war or give them a
  • 00:22:14
    Fighting Chance in This war against
  • 00:22:16
    Russia who's just using everything at
  • 00:22:18
    their disposal except nuclear weapons
  • 00:22:20
    the whole Russian government is quick to
  • 00:22:23
    remind the world that Russia has nukes
  • 00:22:25
    and it's not afraid to use it this is
  • 00:22:27
    something we call recently so let's get
  • 00:22:30
    into that segment but before that as
  • 00:22:33

  • 00:22:35
    traditional media gets geopolitical
  • 00:22:38
