One of the world’s poorest states, North Korea, reportedly possesses 50 locally built nuclear warheads.

But they say that they are not doing it.

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

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.

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.

A bit of history:

“That means, that is not a very good umbrella for our security,” pointed Zelenskyy — this is why Ukraine needs NATO.

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.

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.

There were 10 missile divisions with intercontinental nuclear missiles with a range of 11,000 km.

A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:
