Conveniently forgetting Ukraine gave up all it's nuclear weapons for security guarantees.
en.wikipedia.org
Ukraine, in the aftermath of the Cold War, emerged as the third-largest nuclear power, inheriting a substantial stockpile of Soviet nuclear weapons. This included approximately 5,000 nuclear arms, along with long-range missiles capable of carrying up to 10 thermonuclear warheads. These weapons were stored in secret underground locations throughout the country.
Yet, despite controlling this formidable arsenal, Ukraine made the historic decision to give it up—becoming the only country ever to voluntarily relinquish its nuclear weapons. This decision would shape the course of the nation’s future and set the stage for the ongoing conflict with Russia, according to a report by the New York Times.
