The deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons (TNW) in Belarus is a response to the actions of the collective West. This opinion was expressed by the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Zivadin Jovanovic on Sunday, March 26.
“I believe that the agreement on the deployment of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus is a very serious response and a warning to the so-called collective West for everything. This is a response to the escalation and increasingly direct involvement of NATO member countries in the conflict in Ukraine, to the increasingly reckless fueling of the fire with the supply of modern weapons, medium-range missiles, tanks, combat aircraft and other offensive military equipment for targets in Russia.” , he said in an interview with TASS.
Zhivadin Yovanovitch noted that the Russian-Belarusian agreement followed after the UK announced plans to supply the Kiev regime with depleted uranium shells, which can also be considered as “the beginning of the use of nuclear weapons against Russian troops and Russia.” He added that NATO propaganda is trying to reduce the danger of these weapons, which are “weapons of mass destruction of people and the living world.”
He pointed out that Western countries have deployed nuclear weapons bases in at least five countries, including Germany, Britain, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as in Poland and Romania, there are anti-missile systems capable of launching nuclear warheads.
On March 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Moscow and Minsk had agreed to place tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus without violating the non-proliferation regime. He stressed that Russia is not transferring its nuclear weapons to Belarus, but is doing what the US has been doing for a decade.
Earlier, on February 16, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko stated that the republic does not need strategic nuclear weapons. However, she does have an interest in tactical weapons. According to Lukashenka, Minsk does not intend to strike “even against European countries”, but plans to prepare aircraft that can carry tactical nuclear weapons.
Prior to that, in August, Lukashenko said that the planes in the country were converted to carry nuclear weapons. According to him, the country is ready to adequately respond to threats from the West.
On March 26, political scientist Dmitry Solonnikov expressed the opinion that Western countries currently perceive almost any action by Russia as an attempt at aggression, although Moscow simply responds to unfriendly steps. The political scientist also believes that the United States will continue to build up weapons in Europe.
