The perfect range to nuke their own city and claim Ukraine did it.

Didn't Ukraine give up it's nuclear armaments by treaty with Russia in exchange for Russia acknowledging its sovereignty?

A treaty that died the moment Russian tanks crossed the border.

Not saying Ukraine have nukes, nor that they should have them, but if they did, they wouldn't be in violation of that particular treaty.

the moment russian tanks crossed the border.

For clarity, that moment occurred in 2014.
