Can Ukraine make nuclear weapons?

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.

A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:

A bit of history:

What do you think of Vance using a clip of an embarrassed teenager from almost 20 years ago in an attempt to bully Kamala Harris?

There were 10 missile divisions with intercontinental nuclear missiles with a range of 11,000 km.

However, when asked, “How long would it take for Ukraine to build a nuclear bomb?,” at the joint press conference in Brussels with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, President Zelenskyy downplayed the issue, stating effectively:

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

“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.

Which he hadn’t.

What is the most craziest dream you ever had?

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 had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.

Wow! The changeover from President Biden to VP Kamala Harris as candidate could not have been more successful in just 2 days! It was as if they had been planning it. Could they have planned it? Are you excited by the positive Democratic response?

One of the world’s poorest states, North Korea, reportedly possesses 50 locally built nuclear warheads.

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.

And they aren’t telling us how long would it take Ukraine to make its own NW.

“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.

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.

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.

Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.

What are the causes of over sweating?

But they say that they are not doing it.

So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.

“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.
