Can Ukraine make nuclear weapons?

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.

Let me remind you of this guy:

And they aren’t telling us how long would it take Ukraine to make its own NW.

Who are the most underrated and under-appreciated Hollywood actors/actresses?

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

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:

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

What are the consequences of being addicted to something? Is it considered wrong to have an addiction?

A bit of stocktaking:

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.

One of the world’s poorest states, North Korea, reportedly possesses 50 locally built nuclear warheads.

Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.

“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.

When a narcissist mad at their new supply, do they take it out on the old supply?

But they say that they are not doing it.

A bit of history:

“That means, that is not a very good umbrella for our security,” pointed Zelenskyy — this is why Ukraine needs NATO.

When do you start "growing old"?

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

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.

Will the opposition parties like NTK, AIADMK, BJP, TVK, etc. form a pre-election alliance in Tamil Nadu on a single agenda of defeating the DMK alliance in the state assembly elections 2026?

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.

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.
