Ukraine denies plans for nuclear weapons as Putin's strategy remains unchanged
Ukraine has denied reports that it plans to develop nuclear weapons, stating it does not possess or intend to acquire them. This response follows claims about a briefing document suggesting Ukraine could create a bomb if U.S. military support ends. Meanwhile, a war monitor reports that Vladimir Putin's strategy for Ukraine remains unchanged. The Institute for the Study of War indicates that Russia is not more willing to negotiate with incoming U.S. President Donald Trump than with Joe Biden. The Kremlin's goals still focus on achieving total Ukrainian capitulation, according to the report. This suggests that Russia's approach to negotiations is consistent, regardless of changes in U.S. leadership.
