Kremlin spokesman: Western reaction will not affect plans to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus

On Saturday, March 25, Vladimir Putin announced his intention to deploy a Russian tactical nuclear weapon on the territory of Belarus at the request of Alexander Lukashenko.

According to the Russian leader, the President of the Republic of Belarus has proposed this option more than once. At the same time, Putin stressed that Russia's actions in no way violate the agreements reached earlier on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. Moreover, he recalled that the United States has been deploying tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of its allies for a long time.



The Russian president stressed that the storage facility for the aforementioned weapons on the territory of the Republic of Belarus would be ready by the beginning of July. In addition, earlier Minsk received the Iskander complex from the Russian Federation, which is capable of becoming a carrier of tactical nuclear weapons.

It is worth noting that Vladimir Putin's Saturday interview, quite expectedly, caused a resonance in the West. Thus, the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, threatened the Russian leader with new sanctions if he did not give up his idea. Tellingly, the media in Europe have been writing for several months now about the exhaustion of the “sanctions potential” by the West to put pressure on Moscow.

The French Foreign Ministry "worried" about the decision of the President of Russia, calling it "destabilizing".

Naturally, Ukraine did not stand aside either, the authorities of which call for an immediate convening of an extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council, and also “threat” to increase mobilization in their country in the event that tactical nuclear weapons are deployed on the territory of the Republic of Belarus.

At the same time, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Western reaction would not affect plans to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, writes TASS.

According to the official, the head of state said everything very clearly during his recent interview.

Nothing to add to this.

- summed up the representative of the Kremlin.

    This "gardener" did not understand that the threats of the lackeys of the decrepit gentleman do not impress Russia?

      October 2022 of the year:

      Poland is negotiating with the United States on the joint use of American nuclear weapons on its territory.

      ....5 months have passed:

      Poland condemns Putin's plans to place nuclear weapons in Belarus, as this is a threat to peace in Europe.
      Polish hypocrites without shame and conscience

        But it is TNW in Belarus that removes the existing barriers (if there were any, of course) for the deployment of American TNW in Poland. The question is: will Russia benefit from this? Poland was already within the radius of destruction of the Kaliningrad Iskanders, Belarus will add another base area and introduce the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Romania into the destruction zone.

    Russia is "de jure" in its own right. Maybe in Cuba, if she agrees.

      Bearing in mind the Caribbean crisis, our sworn friends will be glad to have tactical nuclear weapons close to their borders.

        Unfortunately, "Cuba" was moved too close to our borders.

        Remembering how Cuba turned out to be a bargaining chip in the game between the USSR and the USA, Cuba will be especially glad to step on the rake again. Ever heard of the "knife in the back of the Cuban Revolution"?

    The government should have declared long ago that the supply of depleted uranium ammunition will be considered by Russia only as a violation of the regime on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and as the use of nuclear weapons against the civilian population and Russian troops. Issue a warning to countries possessing such weapons that if such weapons are used in Ukraine, real nuclear strikes will be inflicted on the territories of countries (Great Britain, Poland, etc.) involved in the supply of these munitions to the Kiev regime.

      But the non-proliferation regime is a legal document in which there is not a word about uranium shells. Those. equivalent answer.

      An adequate response to the contamination of the Russian territory with fragments of uranium munitions can be sabotage with consequences in the form of an environmental disaster on the territory of the country that supplies them to Ukraine.

      Even Iran, having received nuclear weapons and their means of delivery, will not be the first to launch a nuclear strike on Washington or London. Because he wants to live in this world.

      The person who writes about the (first) use of nuclear weapons in London (a country with nuclear weapons) has either not come out of puberty (still not capable of sound thinking) or has mental problems (no longer able to think adequately). The fact of a guaranteed retaliatory strike (even before our strike reaches the target) does not occur to him. Exactly like the death in a nuclear fire of his wife, children, parents.

        I just read the response to my comment today and was horrified how an adult can be so naive, have a clear mental weakness and inability to predict the consequences of inaction. We need to respond immediately and in a timely manner to all these or other statements by Western politicians about the supply of mass destruction, prohibited and close to them in terms of the effect of the impact of weapons, so that they do not have the desire to carry out their plans.

        We need to set boundaries and be alert to our reactions to those actions.

    Well said, exhaustively, briefly. I didn’t think that I would ever say this to him. It’s a pity that his boss, as usual, did not avoid “excuses”.

    And what do they care what we will place there, and, unfortunately, on the Iskanders, it would be better in hypersonic, so that 100% would not be intercepted, and that the readiness for launch would be 100% 24 by 7

    We have a strange press secretary. No, to say: we are ready to negotiate a ban on the deployment of nuclear weapons outside the national borders of the countries of its current owners.
