Can Ukraine make nuclear weapons?

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.

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.

“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.

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.

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:
