Can Ukraine make nuclear weapons?

Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.

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.”

In 1993, Ukraine had 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world.

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.

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

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:

But they say that they are not doing it.

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

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.

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

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