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.
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.
Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.
And Ukraine is the 10th largest Uranium producer on earth.
A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:

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:

In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
There were 10 missile divisions with intercontinental nuclear missiles with a range of 11,000 km.
But they say that they are not doing it.
Why are Republicans such intolerant people?
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.
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.
