A bit of history:
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.
In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.

So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.
Let me remind you of this guy:
“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.
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.
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.
