Moscow: Russia is looking even more aggressive amid the Ukraine war. Even after pressure from many countries, Russia is not taking the name of stopping. Now another new piece of information is coming out. It is being told that Russia is going to prepare nuclear weapons in its neighboring country. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday announced his plans to deploy strategic nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus. This announcement is being seen as a warning to Western countries about increasing military cooperation in Ukraine.
Unlike more powerful, longer-range strategic nuclear weapons, tactical nuclear weapons are intended for use on the battlefield. Putin said the plan would provide Ukraine with ‘depleted uranium’ Vala is a counter-reaction to Britain’s plan to deliver ammunition. Putin had earlier claimed that these munitions were equipped with a nuclear component. However, he later softened his tone, but Russia’s leader said in an interview broadcast on a state television channel on Saturday night that the weapons pose an additional threat to military forces and civilians in Ukraine.
Putin said that Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has been demanding these weapons for a long time due to being surrounded by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries. He said that the construction of appropriate structures for the storage of these weapons in Belarus would be completed by July 1. Russia has used the territory of Belarus to send troops to Ukraine. Moscow and Minsk have maintained close military ties amid the invasion of Kyiv.
