Which he hadn’t.
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.
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.
A number of nuclear research institutes involved in these projects are still operational in Ukraine, including:

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.

And they aren’t telling us how long would it take Ukraine to make its own NW.
One of the world’s poorest states, North Korea, reportedly possesses 50 locally built nuclear warheads.
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.
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.

So, here it is: yes, Ukraine could make nuclear weapons — if they wanted to.
In addition, Ukraine owned thousands of tactical nukes.

A bit of history:
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.
