Ukraine had 1,272 nuclear warheads for intercontinental missiles.

Which he hadn’t.
Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.
A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:

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

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

In 1993, Ukraine had 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world.
One of the world’s poorest states, North Korea, reportedly possesses 50 locally built nuclear warheads.
Let me remind you of this guy:
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.
“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”
