The Nunn-Lugar Program and Nuclear Disarmament of Ukraine
Introduction. This article is devoted to studying the process of nuclear disarmament of Ukraine in the framework of the Nunn-Lugar Program in the first half of the 1990s. The reconstruction of this process makes it possible to determine specific features of the Ukrainian disarmament and demonstrate the absence of alternatives for it. Methods and materials. The paper is based on the latest U.S. declassified documents, regulatory and legal acts, memoirs, etc. The author uses historical and systemic methods to research the stages of the evolution of the nuclear disarmament process in Ukraine and study politicians attitudes towards the Soviet nuclear legacy. Analysis and results. The study investigates the reasons for joining the efforts of Moscow and Washington in turning Ukraine into a “nuclear-free state”, reveals the Russian and American attitudes towards the problem. Particular attention is paid to contradictions within the Ukrainian political elite that was split into the “pro-nuclear” and “antinuclear” groups. The article also studies the role of President L. Kravchuk in solving the disarmament problem, which was extremely contradictory. Finally, the article analyzes the reasons that allow to change the balance of political forces in Ukraine in favor of the “anti-nuclear” group, which enabled president Kravchuk to reaffirm his international obligations and initiate the nuclear disarmament process. In general, the article shows that the preservation of nuclear weapons by Ukraine was impossible due to a number of financial, technological, and geopolitical reasons.

BOOK
Selenskyj : eine politische Biografie
Die große politische Biografie des ukrainischen Präsidenten Wolodymyr Selenskyj - ein notwendiger Blick in die jüngere Geschichte der Ukraine\" Ich brauche Munition, keine Mitfahrgelegenheit\". Im Februar 2022 geht dieser Satz um die Welt. Über Nacht wird Wolodymyr Selenskyj vom angeschlagenen Präsidenten der gefühlt fernen Ukraine zur zentralen Figur im Kampf für ein freies Europa. So wenig sich der Westen trotz des Kriegs im Donbass für die Ukraine interessierte, so wenig war bekannt über den Mann, der vom Juristen zum Komiker zum Staatsmann geworden war und nach den Maidan-Protesten gegen Korruption und für eine Annäherung an Europa antrat. Sergii Rudenko, seit vielen Jahren Journalist in Kyjiw, hat Selenskyjs erste Biografie geschrieben. Sein Buch ist die ausgewogene Geschichte eines ungewöhnlichen Politikers, das lebendige Porträt eines Helden, der keiner sein wollte - und eine unverzichtbare Quelle für alle, die den Mann verstehen wollen, der Putin die Stirn bietet und mit seinem Land längst zum Verteidiger der freien Welt geworden ist.
