The problem is that for Russia, a few nuclear devices are not a threat or even a deterrent. The current regime would easily sacrifice a million people.

There's no reason to assume that Western allies would "turn a blind eye" to or help Ukraine acquire materials to build nuclear bombs. They would have an incentive to publicly punish Ukraine for doing so, or the global non-proliferation mechanism is damaged. If Ukraine could get away with it, why not others? Do we want a world in which every medium sized country has nuclear weapons? This isn't a rhetorical question.
