Let me remind you of this guy:

Why do narcissists want to hurt your feelings, even after they discard you?
“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
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.
A bit of stocktaking:
In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:
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.

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

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:
But they say that they are not doing it.
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.
