Abstract
At the end of December 1991 under the auspices of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Ukraine agreed to co-operate with Russia in the elimination of the strategic nuclear weapons it inherited after the Soviet Union collapsed.1 A timetable was agreed which stipulated that Ukraine’s strategic nuclear weapons would be dismantled by the end of 1994 with the assistance of the Russian Federation. 2 A few months later, in May 1992, at a meeting in Lisbon between the US and the four nuclear inheritor states, Ukraine became a signatory to the START-1 treaty and reiterated its commitment to move towards full denuclearisation.
