Can Ukraine make nuclear weapons?

Let me remind you of this guy:

Moving sucks, but decluttering helps - The Verge

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.

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

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

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

In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.

Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.

Why does my girlfriend keep asking me if I love her?

Which he hadn’t.

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.

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:

I am interested in gang stalking tactics. How do covert agents use street theater and false narratives to torment targeted individuals?

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

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.

How far does good behavior take you in a prison?

But they say that they are not doing it.

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

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.

What do you think is the #1 cause of why relationships nowadays don't seem to last long?

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.

“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.

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

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.

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