They were soviet nukes. Ukraine was soviet land and soviet people too. Breakaways by definition take stuff with them. To claim Russia had a right to the nukes is no different then saying they had a right to the land and people.

They had a choice, they just chose the one that didn't lead to war.

They didn't have the codes to use the nukes though so it changes the balance of power somewhat.

So, new launch control? The war heads would still work. Especially the old ones just needing the turn of a key.
