They must not do it from scratch, but can fall back on past designs that they just modify. A simple free falling nuclear bomb to be dropped form an airplane - or being transported in a suitcase... - can be done quite fast if you have weapon-ready plutonium. Difficult are ballistic missiles as carriers. I seem to recall Ukraine was a powerhouse of nuclear weapons production in the USSR. And nuclear reactors they have until today.
Another option is nuclear artillery grenades. But i have no idea whether these are simple or difficult to do. These existed during the cold war for sure.
