In a significant development, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced
plans to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus starting in July. This move
marks the first time Russia has stationed such bombs outside its own borders
since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Putin claims that the deployment is a response to the United States and its
Western allies arming Ukraine and escalating what he perceives as a proxy war
against Russia. The situation has raised concerns among NATO countries, who
vow to support Ukraine in defending itself
against Russian aggression.
The international community, including China, closely watches Putin's nuclear
maneuver as tensions continue to rise in the region. |
