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

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

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

Let me remind you of this guy:
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.
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.

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.

“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
“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.
“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.
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.
A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:
