Can Ukraine make nuclear weapons?

And Ukraine is the 10th largest Uranium producer on earth.
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.
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.
A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:
Kharkiv Physics and Technology Institute
Let me remind you of this guy:

“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.

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

And they aren’t telling us how long would it take Ukraine to make its own NW.
“That means, that is not a very good umbrella for our security,” pointed Zelenskyy — this is why Ukraine needs NATO.
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.
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.
Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.
