But they say that they are not doing it.
Zelensky said that he only spoke about Ukraine giving up nukes under the Budapest memorandum, in exchange to security guarantees — and still, Russia invaded Ukraine twice in the last 10 years.

Ukraine surrendered its nuclear arsenal to Russia, on “security guarantees” from the U.S. and U.K. Russia, too, vouched to guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty and security.
Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.

There were 10 missile divisions with intercontinental nuclear missiles with a range of 11,000 km.
In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
