Which he hadn’t.
In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
“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.

Let me remind you of this guy:
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.

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.
But they say that they are not doing it.
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.

“That means, that is not a very good umbrella for our security,” pointed Zelenskyy — this is why Ukraine needs NATO.
One of the world’s poorest states, North Korea, reportedly possesses 50 locally built nuclear warheads.
A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:
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.

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.

“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
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.
A bit of stocktaking:
So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.
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.
