Abstract

As a result of Russia’s annexation of Crimea and its “hybrid war” in the Donbas, the present-day nonproliferation regime, with its exceptional treatment of the permanent Security Council members, could in the future, paradoxically, encourage rather than stem the construction or acquisition of weapons of mass destruction.

Keywords: nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation, Ukraine, Russia, Budapest Memorandum

JEL Classification: H56
