One of the world’s poorest states, North Korea, reportedly possesses 50 locally built nuclear warheads.

And they aren’t telling us how long would it take Ukraine to make its own NW.
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.
