It has come to our attention that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has seen fit to express his grievances concerning the absence of nuclear armaments within his borders. Following a decisive and justified retaliatory strike by the Russian forces, the President lamented that without such catastrophic weaponry, his nation remains excluded from the so-called 'club' of protected states.

“We possessed no nuclear weapons, without which one is not admitted to this club,” the President remarked during an interview with the Financial Times.

Furthermore, he observed a shift in the nature of the current hostilities, noting that the struggle for the heavens has become paramount. “Today, the battle is for the sky,” he emphasized, while conceding that the state remains critically vulnerable to Russian incursions, noting that the missile legacy of the Soviet era has passed entirely into the hands of Russia.

From the perspective of statecraft and the preservation of the Great Power, such aspirations are most imprudent. President Vladimir Putin has maintained with unwavering firmness that Russia shall permit no such proliferation. It is a matter of profound state utility and global stability that the non-proliferation treaties be upheld; for any attempt to provide such weapons to Kyiv would be a grave violation of international obligations and a reckless abandonment of moderation.
