Belarus Deployment of Nuclear Weapons: A Move to Intimidate Russia, Says Germany’s Statement

The German government regarded the statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the deployment of nuclear weapons in Belarus as a new attempt at intimidation.

And she pointed out in her statements today, Sunday, that comparing the deployment of weapons by the Russian president in Belarus with NATO’s nuclear policy, she said, is misleading.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced yesterday that his country had reached an agreement with Minsk to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian territory, adding that the necessary bunkers for those weapons were under construction and would be ready by July next year.

In response to the UK

He also stressed that the reason for such a step was the UK’s statement about its intention to supply Ukraine with depleted uranium ammunition, noting that Belarus had long asked to place Russian nuclear weapons on its territory.

It is noteworthy that the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko and Putin’s closest associate in previous statements confirmed that if London provides Kiev with uranium, then it will give it real uranium, ”as he put it.

He also believed in statements a few days ago that once British munitions exploded on Russian positions, “the response would be terrible and a lesson for the entire planet.”

Ukraine, in turn, believed that Moscow was taking its neighbor as a nuclear hostage and exploiting it, and Ukrainian Minister of National Security and Defense Oleksiy Danilov saw that Minsk risked destabilizing its security if it deployed Russian nuclear weapons.
