"Ukraine's nuclear-weapon-free status was one of the key conditions for its recognition as an independent state. This status is not subject to revision. There should be no nuclear weapons in Ukraine," Matvienko said on Telegram.
Ukraine should not receive nuclear weapons and their components, Matvienko added.
