Can Ukraine make nuclear weapons?

Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.

A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:

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.

There were 10 missile divisions with intercontinental nuclear missiles with a range of 11,000 km.

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.

Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.

“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”

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.

So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.

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:

How do you deal with a neighbor stealing?

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.

Let me remind you of this guy:
