The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has formally requested the convening of a special session of the United Nations Security Council to deal with the announcement of the Russian president, Vladimir Putinon the use of tactical nuclear weapons Belarus.
“The latest announcement by the Russian Federation about its intention to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus is another provocative move by Putin’s criminal regime, which violates the principles of the nuclear non-proliferation treaties, the nuclear weapons disarmament architecture and international security systems in general,” the ministry said.
Likewise, he has asked the G7 and the European Union to warn Belarusian authorities of the “far-reaching consequences” the Minsk government would face “if it agrees to accept Russian tactical nuclear weapons on its territory”.
Putin announced the deployment in response to Britain’s announcement to supply depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine; a decision which, in his view and against Kiev’s view, does not violate the nuclear control agreements signed by Russia. The Russian president hopes that the construction of the facilities for the storage of tactical nuclear weapons will be completed by July 1. These weapons remain under Russian control.
NATO and US remain ‘vigilant’
In his first reaction to Putin’s announcement, the NATO has limited itself to the statement that it remains “carefully” will not take any additional measures for the time being, but he would like to emphasize that the Russian president is distorting the reality of the non-proliferation agreements by ensuring that he does not violate them.
“Russia’s reference to NATO nuclear exchanges is totally misleading. NATO allies are acting in full respect of their international obligations,” an Atlantic Alliance spokeswoman said in statements to DPA, singling out Putin for his “irresponsible and dangerous” nuclear rhetoric.
