In 1993, Ukraine had 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world.
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:
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.

“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.
“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.

Which he hadn’t.
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.
