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.

Fuck yeah, and I hope they've been doing it in secret for a while now.

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.
