Putin Ally Confirms Dozen+ Russian Nukes in Belarus
Belarusian President Lukashenko announced the deployment of over a dozen Russian nuclear warheads to Belarus, a move seemingly confirming previous reports. This action follows a newly signed treaty between Russia and Belarus strengthening their defense alliance, granting both countries access to all available forces and means for mutual defense. While Russia maintains control over the weapons, the deployment raises concerns about nuclear safety and escalates regional tensions. The move has been condemned by Belarusian opposition figures as a further subjugation of Belarusian independence to Russian interests.
