But they say that they are not doing it.
One of the world’s poorest states, North Korea, reportedly possesses 50 locally built nuclear warheads.

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