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.
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.

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.
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.

Which he hadn’t.
And Ukraine is the 10th largest Uranium producer on earth.
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.
Is having white skin really that attractive?
Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.
“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.
“That means, that is not a very good umbrella for our security,” pointed Zelenskyy — this is why Ukraine needs NATO.
In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
