Can Ukraine make nuclear weapons?

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.

In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
