A bombshell report by a Ukrainian think tank suggested it would be 'not difficult' for Kyiv to build a nuke as a bargaining chip for any future negotiation with Russia.

Recent reports claim Ukraine could develop a basic nuclear bomb within months, using material from its existing power plants if Western support dwindles. However, officials have strongly denied these allegations,

Ukraine has no intention of developing nuclear weapons. It will continue to adhere to the provisions of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, stated Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi.

The weapon would be built from plutonium and use similar technology to the nuclear bomb dropped on Nagasaki in 1945, the report prepared for the country's Ministry of Defence stated.
