Original Note:
Ukraine had no independent control of the nuclear arsenal it physically possessed, as the launch codes and operational control were retained by Russia. As such, there is low probability these weapons would have proved a deterrent against Russian aggression. https://www.kcl.ac.uk/would-russia-have-invaded-ukraine-if-soviet-nuclear-weapons-had-remained-on-ukrainian-soil https://www.icanw.org/did_ukraine_give_up_nuclear_weapons
