The deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus was a response to NATO’s approach to the Russian Federation. The statement was made by the official representative of the Kremlin Dmitry Peskov.
“NATO is expanding towards the Russian border. It is not Russia that is approaching NATO borders with its military infrastructure. This move is causing us trouble and concern for our safety,” President Vladimir Putin’s press secretary said.
In connection with what is happening, Russia has taken an appropriate decision to ensure its own security, Peskov concluded.
Previously, the President of the Republic of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, said that the return of nuclear weapons to the territory of the country was his idea. The head of state expressed the request to Putin under the guarantee of reasonable use.
