In 1993, Ukraine had 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world.
And they aren’t telling us how long would it take Ukraine to make its own NW.
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.
A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:
Institute of Nuclear Research
Why aren't you a Trump supporter?
Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.

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

Which he hadn’t.
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.
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.
What’s your experience of being treated bad for being white?
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.

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.

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