Russia, Belarus finalise deal to station Russian nukes on Belarus soil | Oneindia News
Russia and Belarus have signed a deal formalizing the deployment of Moscow’s tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of its ally.
Although Russia’s weapons would be stationed in Belarus, the control will remain in the hands of Kremlin.
This would be Kremlin's first deployment of such bombs outside Russia since the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had announced the deployment of the shorter-range weapons in Belarus earlier this year in a move that was widely seen as a warning to the West as it stepped up military support for Ukraine.
The signing of the deal comes as Russia is preparing for a counteroffensive by Ukraine.
The number of nuclear weapons to be stationed in Belarus is still not known.
Putin has said that the construction of storage facilities in Belarus will be completed by July 1…but so far no information about the timeline of its deployment has been announced.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said his forces launched an attack that destroyed the largest power-generating plant in the Kyiv region in retaliation for assaults against his own country’s energy sector. Putin insisted that Russia was "obliged" to launch strikes on Ukrainian energy sites. The repeated attacks on civilian power stations have sparked outrage from Ukraine's allies. Speaking to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, President Putin argued that the attacks were only in response to Kyiv's attacks on Russian targets.
