Let me remind you of this guy:
Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.

A bit of stocktaking:
“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.
Which he hadn’t.

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.
Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.

President Trump kicked Zelensky out of the White House. Is it over for a deal?
One of the world’s poorest states, North Korea, reportedly possesses 50 locally built nuclear warheads.

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.

A bit of history:
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:
Eum sit ipsam ut animi distinctio rerum omnis praesentium.
Zelensky said that he only spoke about Ukraine giving up nukes under the Budapest memorandum, in exchange to security guarantees — and still, Russia invaded Ukraine twice in the last 10 years.
In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
In 1993, Ukraine had 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world.
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.
“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
And they aren’t telling us how long would it take Ukraine to make its own NW.
Would Donald Trump's reelection make the world more dangerous?
So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.
“That means, that is not a very good umbrella for our security,” pointed Zelenskyy — this is why Ukraine needs NATO.
But they say that they are not doing it.
