You’re awfully friendly to a Russia that outright says it wants to re-establish the USSR.
This 2022 article cites an earlier article from 2017 about Ukraine developing North Korea's ICBM's and wanting nuclear weapons in return for doing so. It might just be Russian propaganda because it's from the New York Times or I might be delusional and lying.

You’re right. I am citing Pravda since the 2017 article is from the New York Times.
Who writes for VT? According to their website…
Today, VT features many now well known independent writers ie…
Gordon Duff who began posting on VT in October 2007 with “PTSD Gets Serious Commission Attention” and……

Yes, VT is truly an unbiased information source!
...the more significant connection likely revolves around a particular rocket factory near the Ukrainian city of Dnipro known as Yuzhmash. The factory was once a major production site for advanced Soviet ballistic missiles, but has now shifted its focus to the production of such things as rockets designed to launch satellites into space; the site did, however, remain a common storage site for space ballistic missile components, including engines.
North Korea has for many years had an interest in the site, with one former employee of the factory recalling a tour he gave to North Koreans posing as tourists in the early 2000s. They were almost certainly not tourists, however, and the United Nations Panel of Experts has confirmed that in 2011-2012 North Korean operatives attempted to steal missile designs from the factory before they were apprehended by the Ukrainian Security Services.
Despite the failure of that operation, North Korea does appear to have successfully acquired Soviet missile technology that has proven essential in the development of its own ballistic missile capabilities. Analysis of the Hwasong-14 has revealed that the missile looks to be powered by several Soviet RD-250 engines, which may have come from the Yuzhmash facility. It is not entirely clear how North Korea acquired the engines though the most likely explanation involves a DPRK black market purchase.
Regardless, the connection between Ukraine and the North Korean ballistic missile program reveals both how North Korea was able to so quickly advance its long-range missile capabilities and the lengths to which the country will go in order to do so, as well as the degree of difficulty associated with preventing advances in North Korea’s missile program.

Yup, you have an airtight case there against the Ukrainian Government! And solid proof that they wanted nuclear bomb technology in return.
Good job, Comrade!
He is signalling Russia that he is building nukes and has the ability to deliver them. He hit a Russian ammo dump 10 miles inside Russia’s borders. Russia backed off the siege of Kieeyyyev.
When Russia went into Dobnas in 2014 & stayed unpunished they pretty much canceled all obligations to ensure that Ukraine would be free of nuclear weapons. What the invasion of 2022 has regrettably shown us is that any attempts to diplomatically try to get entities to voluntarily give up their ambitions to build nuclear weapons programs may not work anymore :( Nobody in the future wants to get ukrained.
Are you saying ‘godfather Joe’ is a Russian puppet? It was after all the Ukraine government the ‘godfather Joe’ threatened to withhold US aide IF that prosecutor was not shut down.
What’s wrong with a dancing narcissist who is a globalist. Its the new intersectionality.
I think of him as obama. Willing to make people he doesn’t even know pay dearly. like during the endless shutdown budget dramas.
This is about ridding the world of putin. He is in the way of the new world order.
Imagine how wonderful the world would be if the globalists replaced putin. A person can dream, right.
Hes not delusional or anything. 🙄
He’s the leader of a country that allowed Americans to set up biological labs. And who saw what happened to the lab that Americans are working with in Wuhan why would he want an American biological lab on the border of Russia right after this coronavirus has swept the world?
Hah!
And is so full of entitlement that he demands things from the US and NATO without giving anything in return.
A diplomat he is NOT.
Ukraine needs a new front man.
This nervy little turd, Zelensky, is aggravating a lot of highly placed global leaders.
It’s not 2017
More importantly, we could have stopped sabotaging sanctions on Russia by giving them a way out in exchange for negotiating a new nuclear protection deal with Iran.
