Valeriy Chaly and Yuriy Kostenko - about the nuclear shield

As a result of the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine inherited the world’s third-largest nuclear
arsenal that exceeded those of France, Britain and China combined. The former Minister
of Environmental Protection and Nuclear Safety of Ukraine Yuriy Kostenko described in
detail what happened next in his book "History of Nuclear Disarmament of Ukraine."
Valeriy Chaly, Chairman of the UCMC Board, Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary of Ukraine recommends this book to everyone involved in decision-making
at the state level in Ukraine. That is why he invited the author to a conversation in the
format "GEOPOLITICAL DIALOGUES with Valeriy Chaly".
