Trump has stated he will cut American aid to Ukraine, which makes a majority of total aid. Recently Zelensky stated that if Ukraine's only hope for sovereignty is its own nuclear arsenal, they will build it.

Idk how easy it easy to just build a nuke... I feel like the long range missile is the hard part, right? The actual nuclear part isn't quite so complex. Maybe I'm wrong.

They have a lot of the Soviet weapons design bureaus. Not sure how many of the original designers are still around. The tricky bit will be refining enough uranium or plutonium in a war zone.

He said they could make a bomb in a couple weeks if needed. No specifics on delivery or quality.

Edit: sounds like kyiv is denying the claim made by some insider. So guess this isn't likely true.
