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.

Which he hadn’t.

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

Rich people actually spend a whole lot, but the market is the market and there is only one price for the same item and it is much easier for the rich to buy it or lease it or rent it because its expensive to be poor. So why do people have such ideas?

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

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.

Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.

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

What makes someone feel "rich enough" in different societies?

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.

A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:

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

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