Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that Moscow will deploy “tactical” nuclear weapons on the territory of its ally, Belarus, a country located at the gates of the European Union.
“There is nothing unusual here: the United States has been doing this for decades. It has long been deploying its tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of its allies,” Vladimir Putin said in an interview broadcast on Russian television.
“We agreed to do the same,” he added, saying he had the Minsk agreement.

The Russian president also threatened to use depleted uranium shells in Ukraine if kyiv received them from the West, as a British official recently mentioned.
“Russia, of course, has something to answer for. We have, without exaggeration, hundreds of thousands of such shells. We are not using them at the moment,” Vladimir Putin said in an interview with Russian television.
