        I suspect Ukraine would not be too keen on the idea of irradiating their own land.

          Nukes don’t cause long therm radiation as the nuclear material is almost entirely used up for the explosion, the remaining radiation goes to unproblematic levels within a few weeks.

          This is of course if the Nuke is used correctly, if its used with a impact fuse the dirt around the explosion will be radioactive for longer, however also not that much.

          Nukes aren’t Dirty bombs (and strictly speaking Ukraine has already a gigantic dumping sight for radioactive material… No offense but Chernobyl can be seen as that)
