Ukraine’s survival can only be ensured by joining NATO or giving Kyiv nuclear weapons, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

Zelenskyy recalled that his country agreed to give up the Soviet nuclear weapons stored on its soil in exchange for security assurances from Russia, the United States and the United Kingdom under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.

“Which of these major nuclear powers suffered? All of them? No. Ukraine [did],” Zelenskyy said at the European Council summit in Brussels on Thursday.

“Who gave up nuclear weapons? All of them? No. Ukraine. Who is fighting today? Ukraine,” he added. “Either Ukraine will have nuclear weapons and that will be our protection or we should have some sort of alliance. Apart from NATO, today we do not know any effective alliances.
