So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.
But they say that they are not doing it.

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:

Which he hadn’t.
