๐Ÿงต1/ Many have questions about the former stationing of Soviet nuclear weapons on Ukrainian territory during the Cold War given the ongoing crisis. Scroll to read about it and learn more here: icanw.org/faq_on_ukraineโ€ฆ

#nuclearban #Ukrainecisis #Russis Image
2/ Ukraine never had an independent nuclear weapons arsenal, it inherited an aging nuclear arsenal, from the Soviet Union, over which it did not have operational control and could not have safely maintained. Image
3/ Arguments that Ukraine would not have been invaded if it had nuclear weapons are fallacies, there is little convincing historical evidence that the possession or presence of nuclear weapons prevents conflict. #nuclearban Image

One question weโ€™ve been asked a lot lately is how many nuclear warheads exist right now.
Keep scrolling to find out โฌ‡๏ธ

The numbers are absurd. There is no way we could respond to the devastating consequences of a nuclear war thatโ€™s why we need the #nuclearban!

๐Ÿงต1/ The nuclear threat is growing, and it is very normal that it creates feelings of worry and anxiety in a lot of people. We asked a psychologist in our network to help out with some practical tips, we hope these will help. #nuclearban Image
2/ Try to remind yourselves of key facts and then aim to "end" the thought there so that catastrophic thoughts, imagination, and feelings of anxiety do not get too much space in your thoughts. Image
3/ It can help to remember to focus on your breathing for a while if you suddenly feel anxious. Image

๐Ÿงต1/ Today Belarus is holding a referendum to revoke its nuclear-weapon-free status. Nuclear weapons are weapons of mass destruction and are illegal under international law. ICAN condemns any moves away from nuclear-weapon-free pledges. icanw.org/belarus_and_nuโ€ฆ
2/The referendum will not represent the will of the people. Lukashenko's reckless behavior of is threatening the lives of the people of Belarus, Russia, Ukraine and all neighboring countries. Nuclear weapons will not keep anybody safe and a nuclear escalation can't be contained.
3/ The referendum shows that as long as nuclear weapons exist, so does their threat of use . Nuclear war cannot be contained and has to be avoided under all circumstances. International law must be respected, nuclear weapons must be eliminated. icanw.org/report_no_placโ€ฆ

2/ Stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›, call for peace, and condemn both Russia's illegal invasion and Putin's threat to use nuclear weapons.
3/ Reach out to your representative, your MP, and ask them what they are doing to condemn the threat of using nuclear weapons, get them to prioritize nuclear disarmament.
