Meeting in Moscow – Putin and Lukashenko discuss nuclear weapons

Date:

Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko is expected in Moscow on Wednesday. Among other things, he will speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine, Finland’s accession to NATO and nuclear weapons.

As reported, the Russian military will station its tactical nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus. This should improve security. The range of these weapons was given as several hundred kilometers, the explosive effect is between one and 50 kilotons of trinitrotoluene (TNT, explosive). In a conversation between Lukashenko and Putin, Lukashenko and Putin explain exactly what the stationing right on the border with Poland should look like.

They are also scheduled to talk about “current bilateral and international issues” such as the war in Ukraine and likely a response to Finland joining NATO on Tuesday. The Russian Foreign Ministry has already criticized that joining NATO would seriously damage Russian-Finnish relations. “Russia will be forced to respond appropriately – in military-technical and other terms – to take into account the threats to its national security,” it said.

The stationing of nuclear weapons in Russia’s Baltic Sea area was threatened. However, the fact that there will actually be a violent reaction to accession is regarded by experts as “extremely” unlikely. The Belarusian president stated on Friday that he would also allow the Russian military to deploy ICBMs if necessary.
