Can Ukraine make nuclear weapons?

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

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

Let me remind you of this guy:

Why are some people afraid of monsters?

But they say that they are not doing it.

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.

Isn't it ironic people always talk about how much women hate Donald Trump, when almost any of them would marry him if they could? What he said in the 2005 Billy Bush video, almost every woman would share the sentiment if it got them his lifestyle.

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.
