Vladimir Putin says Russia will station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus
-
Russia has struck a deal with neighbouring Belarus to station tactical nuclear weapons on its territory but will not violate non-proliferation agreements, Putin said on 25 March. Alexander Lukashenko, the president of Belarus, had long raised the issue of stationing tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, which borders Poland, Putin told state television. 'We agreed that we will do the same - without violating our obligations, I emphasise, without violating our international obligations on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons,' said Putin.
