Just off of my head....
East European and 1 or 2 former soviets.
Some eastern Asian countries near China and North Korea.

Countries which are more established financially and well diversified.
Countries which already has many nuclear power plants, and has enough reactor grade isotopes.

I read some articles that Ukrainian are regretting giving up nuclear.


India, Pakistan, Israel is one group to go nuclear.
Libya , Kazakhstan, Ukraine,Belarus, etc is one who went opposite.

I suspect Ukraine wishes right now they would have kept those nukes.

Putin wouldn't be screwing with them if he knew they were equals.

And tactical/strategic nukes are a deterrent from an invasion like this [unless a country can neutralize launches].
