Zelensky clearly stated at the Munich Security Conference that if the west didn’t give him guarantees that he wasn’t going to get he would withdraw from the Budapest Memorandum. This is a declared intent to develop nuclear weapons, and is neither in doubt nor vague in meaning.
Russia also accuses Ukraine of developing bioweapons. All of the evidence for this comes through Russia, so I wouldn’t expect someone who didn’t already believe Russia’s narrative to believe said accusations, but in any case, bioweapons development is held by Russia to be among the primary justifications of the invasion.
