And they aren’t telling us how long would it take Ukraine to make its own NW.

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

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

“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.

Can they start feeding only one meal to prisoners on death row or those doing a life sentence? Because only then will it be real punishment. If they want extra food they can work or pay from their own pocket.

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.

Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.

There were 10 missile divisions with intercontinental nuclear missiles with a range of 11,000 km.

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 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.

In what ways is modern day Russia similar to the USSR? How does it differ from the USSR in terms of culture and politics?

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.

In 1993, Ukraine had 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world.

Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.

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.
