“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
Let me remind you of this guy:

Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.
And they aren’t telling us how long would it take Ukraine to make its own NW.

A bit of history:

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.
Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.

And Ukraine is the 10th largest Uranium producer on earth.

In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
There were 10 missile divisions with intercontinental nuclear missiles with a range of 11,000 km.
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.
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.
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:

“That means, that is not a very good umbrella for our security,” pointed Zelenskyy — this is why Ukraine needs NATO.
Why don't we hear our own snoring?
Which he hadn’t.
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.
