Ukraine surrendered its nuclear arsenal to Russia, on “security guarantees” from the U.S. and U.K. Russia, too, vouched to guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty and security.

So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.
Which he hadn’t.
A bit of history:
Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.
Let me remind you of this guy:
But they say that they are not doing it.
He only said that to live in safety, Ukraine either needs membership in NATO — or nukes. And that Ukraine wants to be in NATO, to be safe.
“But we don’t do nuclear weapons,” stated Zelenskyy, ending his answer, and asked the journalist who posed the question not to move” such messages.
“That means, that is not a very good umbrella for our security,” pointed Zelenskyy — this is why Ukraine needs NATO.

The recent statement by president Zelenskyy created quite a stir — the Ukrainian president said that to ensure its secure existence, Ukraine has only 2 options: to create its own nuclear weapons or to become a member of NATO.

One of the world’s poorest states, North Korea, reportedly possesses 50 locally built nuclear warheads.
If North Korea can do it, a former nuclear power that still has the scientists and engineers who built the Soviet nukes, can certainly do it.
Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.
In 1993, Ukraine had 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world.
After Zelenskyy’s speech yesterday, the Russian propaganda channels are absolutely hysterical, trying to prove — mouths foaming — that Ukraine is unable to build nuclear weapons.
In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
And they aren’t telling us how long would it take Ukraine to make its own NW.
However, when asked, “How long would it take for Ukraine to build a nuclear bomb?,” at the joint press conference in Brussels with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, President Zelenskyy downplayed the issue, stating effectively:
