And they aren’t telling us how long would it take Ukraine to make its own NW.
A bit of stocktaking:

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.

Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.
A bit of history:
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.
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.
Let me remind you of this guy:
One of the world’s poorest states, North Korea, reportedly possesses 50 locally built nuclear warheads.

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.

“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
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.
In 1993, Ukraine had 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world.
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.
