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:
The recent statement by president Zelenskyy created quite a stir — the Ukrainian president said that to ensure its secure existence, Ukraine has only 2 options: to create its own nuclear weapons or to become a member of NATO.
A bit of history:
