In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
A bit of history:
There were 10 missile divisions with intercontinental nuclear missiles with a range of 11,000 km.

“That means, that is not a very good umbrella for our security,” pointed Zelenskyy — this is why Ukraine needs NATO.
“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”

Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.
So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.
“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.
Let me remind you of this guy:

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.

A bit of stocktaking:
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.
In 1993, Ukraine had 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world.

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:

Which he hadn’t.
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:
But they say that they are not doing it.
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.

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.
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.
