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.

In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.
But they say that they are not doing it.
So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.

“But we don’t do nuclear weapons,” stated Zelenskyy, ending his answer, and asked the journalist who posed the question not to move” such messages.
