Actually tangs makes a valid point. Ukraine made an extremely foolish decision to comply with the US request to transfer the nuclear weapons to Russia.
As John Mearsheimer indicated at the time, Ukraine was developing its own command and control system for these weapons. Moscow's permission could then have been bypassed.
If President Bill Clinton had implemented Mearsheimer's plea to keep them in Ukraine then this war would never have happened.
Bill Clinton has a massive amount of blood on his hands for this failure.
Mearsheimer's multiple predictions in his Foreign Affairs article at the time, regarding catastrophic European conflict centred in Ukraine, have proved remarkably accurate 30 years later.
