Russia to locate N-weapons on Belarus' Poland border

Apr 04, 2023

Moscow [Russia], April 4: Russian tactical nuclear weapons, previously announced for deployment in Belarus, will be placed on the border with Poland, Moscow's ambassador in Minsk, Boris Gryzlov, said on Sunday. By July 1, the bunkers needed to store the weapons should be ready, he said. "This will be done despite the noise in Europe and the US," said Gryzlov, a former Russian interior minister and chairman of the Russian lower house of parliament, the Duma, according to the Belta news agency. "At last people are paying attention to the fact that there should be some parity," Gryzlov said. "If we talk about the deployment of US nuclear weapons in Europe, then we have to take measures that will increase the security of our union state [Belarus and Russia]." Russia and Belarus, he said, are the territory of the Union State, a legalized territory, unlike the territories of countries where the US stations its nuclear weapons.
