Zelensky's doomsday nuke option: How Ukraine could go nuclear on Putin and has enough plutonium to make HUNDREDS of nuclear warheads powerful enough to destroy Russian military bases |

[Daily Mail, were America gets its news]
A briefing paper prepared for Ukraine's Defence Ministry said Kyiv could develop small dirty bombs within months if Donald Trump pulls US military aid. Despite giving up its nuclear arsenal in 1996, Kyiv is still in control of nine operational reactors and has significant expertise on how to build the weapons. Ukraine does not have the time or resources to run the facilities required to enrich uranium needed for high-yield nuclear weapons amid the ongoing war. But Oleksii Yizhak, head of department at Ukraine's National Institute for Strategic Studies and author of the paper, said Kyiv could extract plutonium from its spent fuel rods at nuclear power plants to create a significant arsenal of dirty warheads. 'The amount of material is sufficient for hundreds of warheads with a tactical yield of several kilotons,' Yizhak concluded. 'That would be enough to destroy an entire Russian airbase or concentrated military, industrial or logistics installations.' |
