The delivery of this weapon had already been formalized weeks ago in a meeting between the defense ministers of both countries.
He russian presidentVladimir Putin reported Friday in the city of Sochi that he is scheduled to begin deploying tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian soil when the facilities are ready on July 7 and 8. The announcement came two weeks after a meeting in Minsk between the defense ministers of both countries in which it was stated that they would transfer this weapon to Belarusian territory.
Putin further noted that “everything is as planned, everything is stable.” Two weeks ago in Minsk, the Russian Defense Minister, Sergei Shoiguclarified that the control and manipulation of this weaponry would remain in Russian hands.
In particular, the type of Russian weaponry that will be deployed in belarus are short range missiles based on land, ruling out, for the moment, those that can be launched by air and from ships.
The deployment of tactical nuclear weapons generates worry in the international community because they are more destructive than traditional missiles and because they cause radiation contamination.
