Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.
Let me remind you of this guy:
“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.
“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
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.
A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:

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.
In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
And Ukraine is the 10th largest Uranium producer on earth.
In 1993, Ukraine had 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world.
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.
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.
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.
