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.
Why is it rare for someone to despise both the Democrats and Republicans?
In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.
Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.

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.
