When Ukraine gave up world's 3rd-largest nuclear arsenal, did it set stage for Russian invasion?

Firstpost  

In the 1990s, Ukraine gave up the third-largest nuclear weapons arsenal in the world in lieu of security guarantees. Now, as Russia’s war on Ukraine is set to enter the fourth year in coming weeks, Putin has made threats of nuclear attack central to his messaging to Ukraine and the world. As Ukraine declared its independence from the Soviet Union, it came in possession of the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal — much larger than British, French, or Chinese arsenals. Ksenia Kirillova, an analyst at Washington DC-based think tank Jamestown Foundation believes that Putin’s threats of using nuclear weapons is blackmail and part of a scheme to scare the West into accepting his terms for the end of war on Ukraine.
