Russia rejected US President Joe Biden’s criticism of the plan to install tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, saying that the US has been installing similar nuclear weapons in Europe for decades.
Russia said it was deploying such weapons outside its borders for the first time since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, while Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said the arms transfer process had begun.
Joe Biden reacted very negatively to Russia’s plan to install tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus yesterday. The US State Department has also condemned Russia’s plan to install nuclear weapons.
The Russian Embassy in the United States said in a statement that it is the sovereign right of Russia and Belarus to ensure their own security, which we consider necessary in the context of the US launching a large-scale hybrid war against us. Furthermore, the actions we take are fully consistent with our global legal obligations.
The United States has said that the world is facing the biggest nuclear threat since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis due to the remarks of Russian President Vladimir Putin during the Ukraine war. has been misinterpreted.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has described the war in Ukraine as Russia’s battle for survival against Western aggression, has repeatedly warned that Russia (which has more nuclear weapons than any other country) will use all means to defend itself. .
It should be noted that tactical nuclear weapons are used in a specific tactical manner on the battlefield and are usually smaller than strategic nuclear weapons designed to destroy American, European or Russian cities.
The Russian Embassy described the US criticism of the plan to install nuclear weapons as hypocritical and said, “Before blaming others, the US should examine itself. The US has installed large stockpiles of its nuclear weapons in Europe for decades.” Along with its NATO allies, the United States participates in nuclear sharing arrangements and training for the use of nuclear weapons against Russia.
