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.
Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.
“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:
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.

So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.
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.
There were 10 missile divisions with intercontinental nuclear missiles with a range of 11,000 km.
But they say that they are not doing it.
In 1993, Ukraine had 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world.
