Ukraine can try to create nuclear weapons in conjunction with European countries.
Such an opinion in interview The BBC was expressed by two experts-the first vice-president of the National Institute for Strategic Studies, Vladimir Gorbulin, who is called the “father” of the Ukrainian rocket and space industry, and Valentin Badrak, Director of the Center for Army Research, Conversion and Disarmament.
Volodymyr Gorbulin believes that Ukraine has a chance to start developing nuclear weapons in cooperation with European countries. “I think there is another way. It is to unite with Western European countries, which are constantly threatening the Russian Federation. Literally two or three weeks ago, Polish Prime Minister Tusk said they would feel better if they had nuclear weapons. You can not respond to it, ”he said.
He recalled that the United Kingdom has the right to use nuclear weapons only with the US consent, and the French arsenal, according to Paris, is insufficient to contain the Russian Federation.
“It is necessary to look for allied bridges in order for Ukraine to engage in its own (nuclear weapons – ed.). Considering the scientific school that is in Ukraine, and the fact that Ukraine has enough scientific base. So I think that by uniting with some country in Europe, we can try to go to such a step, ”Gorbulin said.
He is supported by military expert Valentin Badrak – Director of the Center for Army Research, Conversion and Disarmament. In his opinion, the situation has changed compared to the 1990s, when Ukraine has abandoned nuclear weapons.
“Now we have an enemy. The enemy who destroys us. There is a genocide of the Ukrainian people. Real. We see terrorism constantly. This is one argument, ”Badrak emphasized.
He called the second argument a change in the attitude towards the nuclear issue in Europe. In particular, British military expert Richard Camp urged to help Ukraine create nuclear weapons not only for its protection but also in Europe’s safety.
“Ukraine, together with countries in the United Club, will do it. For example, it is Ukraine, Britain, Poland, possibly Baltic countries that are experiencing increased danger (from the Russian Federation – ed.), We will say so. Such a club could create this weapon and be able to distribute the security area to the whole of Europe, ”Badrak said.
Experts, according to him, argue that there is a technological possibility of creating nuclear weapons a year, in particular by using alternative approaches, such as cold nuclear synthesis: “Unfortunately, not a specialist in this, I saw them, I cannot evaluate. But they assure that in a year you can really make nuclear weapons. “
At 28-In the meeting formatin “Ramstein»June 4 Ukraine and state partners have agreed to create new mechanism of defense production. Ukrainian companies will build their factories in the event for foreign money, weapons from which the Armed Forces will be arrived and Western companies will accommodate production in Ukraine.
