This arguments get used again and again but it does not make sense. The hard part of building nuclear bomb is the enrichment process. Ukraine inherited ready to use ICMBs and bombers. What they did not have was the launch codes / devices. This could have been manufactured. Ukraine had huge arms and aerospace industry. They would have capacity to replace detonator units. See [0][1][3], they designed and built quite a lot of ICBMs. Saying they would not have control over missiles they designed and manufactured does not make sense.
