Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.
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:
Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.

A bit of stocktaking:
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.

Which he hadn’t.
In 1993, Ukraine had 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world.
And they aren’t telling us how long would it take Ukraine to make its own NW.
Why are some people afraid of monsters?
So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.
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.

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

A bit of history:
“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
One of the world’s poorest states, North Korea, reportedly possesses 50 locally built nuclear warheads.

“That means, that is not a very good umbrella for our security,” pointed Zelenskyy — this is why Ukraine needs NATO.
But they say that they are not doing it.
In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.

“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.
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.
