Before the USSR collapsed, Ukraine fully participated in the Soviet nuclear program.
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.
There were 10 missile divisions with intercontinental nuclear missiles with a range of 11,000 km.

Let me remind you of this guy:
A bit of history:

“We have never said that we are preparing to create a nuclear weapon.”

Ukraine surrendered its nuclear arsenal to Russia, on “security guarantees” from the U.S. and U.K. Russia, too, vouched to guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty and security.
One of the world’s poorest states, North Korea, reportedly possesses 50 locally built nuclear warheads.
