They voluntarily gave up their nukes under the Budapest agreement that their borders would be respected and the signing powers would help if they were attacked.

Russia, one of the signers attacked and annexed part of Ukraine. They have given arms and are sending soldiers into east Ukraine to annex that area of Ukraine. The other signers are not helping per the agreement. Get the nukes back and they will have a much bigger deterrent capability. 10 years might be too long.
