Can Ukraine make nuclear weapons?

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

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

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

And Ukraine is the 10th largest Uranium producer on earth.

“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.

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.

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:

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.

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 addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
