Look into the 1994 trilateral statement. Ukraine was flush with nukes and wasn’t willing to give them up until the UK, US, and Russia came in to cut them big checks and give security guarantees. This wasn’t a smooth process and wasn’t handled by the soviets as they were not a government for 3 years at that point so whatever systems they had in place were breaking down. Ukraine was at least as corrupt and incompetent then as it is now so anything was possible regarding the mishandling of nukes at that point as far as I’m concerned.
Though at this point it’s clear Ukraine couldn’t or didn’t want to hide them for whatever reason so you’re right that western oversight was capable enough to handle the situation.
