Can Ukraine make nuclear weapons?

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.

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.

In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.

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

Why is rap* a crime?

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

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

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

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

But they say that they are not doing it.

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.

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 we don’t do nuclear weapons,” stated Zelenskyy, ending his answer, and asked the journalist who posed the question not to move” such messages.

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

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.

Which he hadn’t.
