Putin: Russia will send tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus

La Russia will unfold tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.

This is it response Of the president Vladimir Putin when sending depleted uranium weapons e jet to Ukraine. “We will do in Belarus exactly what the United States did in Europe. We will put them there to train the Belarusian military starting from April 3” were the words of the Russian president who also spoke about depleted uranium weapons for Kiev “we have, without exaggeration, hundreds of thousands of such ammunition. We are not currently using them. They are very dangerous weapons for man and nature due to the radioactive dust”. For Moscow, theagreement between Putin and Lukashenko would not violate the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Start.

Missile systems in Belarus

Russia will then transfer i Iskander-M missile systems double capacity in Belarus and will convert some Belarusian Su-25 aircraft to allow them to carry nuclear weapons (there should be 10 aircraft ready to use this type of weapon). The construction of a nuclear weapons depot tactics in Belarus is expected by July 1st. "No technologies for converting aircraft into nuclear weapons carriers will be delivered," he explained Konstantin Vorontsov, deputy head of the Russian delegation to a meeting of the First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly.

Russia's decision to send weapons to Minsk clashes with what was declared some time ago by President Lukashenko who had said some time ago that he was against the use of nuclear weapons on Belarusian soil.
“Russia has taken the Belarus as a nuclear hostage. A step towards the internal destabilization of the country ” was the comment on Twitter by Oleksy Danilov, the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine

This too seems to be a response to maneuvers by Ukraine's allies: “The West plans to send tanks to Ukraine, we will produce new ones and modernize over 1.600 of the existing ones. The total number of tanks of the Russian army will be three times those of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Even more than three times,” Putin told Russia-24.

Meanwhile i Nordic countries have decided to join forces for one collective security. The commanders of the air forces of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark have signed a memorandum to create one unified Nordic air defense aimed at countering the growing threat from Russia. The goal is to be able to operate jointly, on the basis of NATO's operating methods. A “defensive choice” claims the commander of the Danish Air Force, Major General Jan Dam.
