There were 10 missile divisions with intercontinental nuclear missiles with a range of 11,000 km.
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.
And they aren’t telling us how long would it take Ukraine to make its own NW.

In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
A bit of stocktaking:

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.

A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:
Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.

“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
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.

So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.
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.
In 1993, Ukraine had 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world.
“That means, that is not a very good umbrella for our security,” pointed Zelenskyy — this is why Ukraine needs NATO.
Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.
But they say that they are not doing it.
