Head of the Servant of the People faction David Arakhamia said that if Ukraine retained its nuclear potential, it could “blackmail the whole world.”
He said this on the air. Ukraine 24, NV.UA reports.
«Now it is easy for us to reason, after so many years… But, it seems to me, at that time it was necessary to show perseverance and at least other documents to sign. Even if we could not maintain (nuclearweapons – ed.), we could be reduced, but still leave the nuclear potential. We could blackmail the whole world, and we would be given money for service, as is now happening in many other countries, “the MP believes.
According to Arakhamia, the former President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk, “it seems a fatal mistake — to get rid of nuclear weapons after the signing of a meaningless memorandum.”
«Basically, we all inherit this big mistake today. All the other mistakes of all other presidents can simply be neglected. If we were a nuclear power, everyone would talk to us differently, negotiate differently. Even if you go for it, then you had to go completely differently,” he said.
