Russia will deploy nuclear weapons in Belarus
Russian President Vladimir Putin said he plans to deploy nuclear weapons in Belarus.
The BBC reported this.
The dictator emphasized that it is about tactical nuclear weapons. He is trying to justify his decision by arguing that the United Kingdom will give Ukraine depleted uranium munitions.
– But even outside the context of these events, Alexander Grigorievich Lukashenko has long been raising the issue of deploying Russian tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, – Putin said in an interview.
The Russian president says that the command and control of the weapons will be in Moscow. The dictator said a storage facility for tactical nuclear weapons would be completed in Belarus by July 1.
– We have already helped Belarusians to re-equip aircraft, 10 types of aircraft are ready to use tactical weapons, we have transferred Iskander, we are starting to train crews on April 3, and we are starting to build a nuclear weapons storage facility, – Putin said.
