Russian President Vladimir Putin has made known that Russia will now install tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, which is the first time since the mid-1990s that the Eastern European power has installed such arms outside the country’s borders.
Putin’s announcement comes as tensions continue to tighten amid the war in Ukraine, which has seen Western powers supporting the small country with tanks, ammunition, and fighter jets in its effort to push back against Russia.
Reuters reported that Putin shared with state television that he and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko had considered the issue of installing tactical nuclear weapons in the country. However, Putin’s military gesture has raised concerns, as Belarus borders Poland, a member of NATO.
Putin said: “There is nothing unusual here either: firstly, the United States has been doing this for decades. They have long deployed their tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of their allied countries.”
“We agreed that we will do the same – without violating our obligations, I emphasize, without violating our international obligations on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons.”
It has not been confirmed when these weapons would be moved to Belarus. It is important to note that these tactical nuclear weapons are “used for specific gains in the battlefield,” according to the report.
The report noted that Russia is set to have a storage facility that houses these tactical nuclear weapons ready in Belarus by July 1. However, Russia has made known that they will not be handing over control of the arms to Minsk.
Even more alarming is that Russia has already put 10 aircraft in Belarus that have the ability of carrying tactical nuclear weapons, according to Putin. Additionally, Moscow has already moved Iskander tactical nuclear weapons systems to Belarus, which allows for nuclear weapons to be launched.
Reuters reported that when the Soviet Union folded in 1991, nuclear weapons were stationed in Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Russia. However, in 1992, the four countries agreed that the nuclear weapons should all be kept in Russia, which came to fruition in 1996.

Just another Putin failing Belarus Bellicose Ruse, to fool people he actually has the power to bluff his way out of his self-made unwinnable situation, in a bellicose chess game he is about to get mated in by the treason defying Ukrainians, and save his own skin with the power of other people, of course,,,, now other countries, his own people and country deserting Putin to the point the only toys he has left to play with are now manufactured in other countries, the best of his own nukes originally stolen in American designed technology, delivered by designed German rocket scientists. If Vlad the Russian Impaler, only knew just how much THE PEOPLE, not the cowering, fearful, blackmailed leaders of Belarus, despise his poor excuse for a human being to the point they might overthrow their own leaders and join the Ukrainians, he might not engage in such last-minute acts of self-preservation. The bigger the threats the smaller the man. Less talk, more results fool. If you wre a real man we should see you on the arena of the battlefield where real men of courage take actual risks, whose faces are marred with sweat and dust and blood, who strive valiantly and only die once, unlike cowards like Putin, who daily die a thousand deaths, hiding within the safe walls of the Kremlin with the rest of the palace mice and rats. Smart Belarusians understand Placing nukes there just makes them the next target to get nuked, like it once did in Ukraine.

Mine is in the shape of the cross,,,not the democrat double cross with 45 degree feet sticking out of each of the 4 legs like a spider.
