Ukraine has enough plutonium to construct hundreds of nuclear warheads for rudimentary bombs akin to the first atomic weapons dropped on Japan by the US in 1945, a new report has revealed.
A briefing paper prepared for Ukraine's Defence Ministry said Kyiv could develop small dirty bombs within months if Donald Trump pulls US military aid.
Despite giving up its nuclear arsenal in 1996, Kyiv is still in control of nine operational reactors and has significant expertise on how to build the weapons.
Ukraine does not have the time or resources to run the facilities required to enrich uranium needed for high-yield nuclear weapons amid the ongoing war.
But Oleksii Yizhak, head of department at Ukraine's National Institute for Strategic Studies and author of the paper, said Kyiv could extract plutonium from its spent fuel rods at nuclear power plants to create a significant arsenal of dirty warheads.
'The amount of material is sufficient for hundreds of warheads with a tactical yield of several kilotons,' Yizhak concluded.
'That would be enough to destroy an entire Russian airbase or concentrated military, industrial or logistics installations.'

Oh, yeah, I totally believe this.
Not.
This is stupid.
If the claim has any merit, I fully expect an analog of Sum of All Fears, not a suicide pact to ensure their own destruction.
Short Stuff is fixin to be vaporized.
That would be suicide.
But I don’t put it past the western Globalists.
It might be their final act before their populations finally rise up against elitist rule.
If he can make and use them, we can get rid of two pests at the same time.
Trump has already neutered Zalinsky and put a tracking shock collar on him !
As soon as he is sworn in he’s going to send Zelinsky a promissory note to sigh.
That would be the dumbest thing he could ever do.
Ukraine is a construct. Not long ago it was part of the USSR. It will never again include Crimea or most land East of the Dnieper. It sucks that Biden, Nuland, Obama and McCain f’ed everything up over there, but it’s done and now it’s time for the grownups to end this madness.
Trump is cutting off Zelensky’s allowance.
I’ll just leave this little 21-second clip here: (I hope it directs to the right one.)

Eastern Ukraine voted overwhelmingly nine years ago to rejoin Russia.
Those who are supporting Zelensky are election deniers subverting the will of the people.
And just look at those usual suspects...
“ Despite giving up its nuclear arsenal in 1996”
And Russia, under Putin, US and UK promised to protect Ukraine in return.
We see what Putin’s promises are worth. Same as any commie.
And what of our promises not to let Ukraine into Nato : Biden poked the Bear and the Ukraine war was the result.
This war is done as Trump is not going to allow it to continue.
Silly. You could have all manner of plutonium and not be able to construct a warhead. The Ukranians could make fizzles, but not a functioning “boom” warhead. And I seriously doubt they have any, anyway. When the nukes were removed from Ukraine, there is no doubt whatsoever that extensive accounting for the amounts that would have been there occurred.
Glory to God for all things!
I’ve been wondering what is currently going on in the Russia/Ukraine war.
I’m a massive fan of the English Premier League and European football in general. As football/soccer fans know, The Champions League has been taking place intermittently for several weeks. The Ukrainian clubs Dynamo Kiev and Shakhtar Donetsk have been participating. As I type this, I’m watching a rerun of Shakhtar Donetsk taking on a Swiss club .
Donetsk is playing at home. The stadium isn’t full, but it seems like a normal game. There is a sizable Swiss contingent in Donetsk to support their club.
I just find it kind of strange that they are playing an international soccer game in a supposed war zone. This isn’t the first game which has been played in Kiev or Donetsk. Ukraine doesn’t seem like a war zone. I just find it strange.
Go Liverpool!! Top of the Premier League Standings and #1 in the Champions League. My second favorite team Borussia Dortmund aren’t doing as well in the German Bundesliga.
Oh, good God!! Why does a “newspaper” publish nonsense like this??
Yeah, for hits, etc.
The DM does the USA articles the MSM won’t touch or even hides - but stuff like this puts their credibility in the toilet.
