Russia sends tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus after ‘Nato aggression’

Russia has started moving nuclear weapons into Belarusian territory, President Lukashenko has said after the countries struck a deal today.

“The transfer of nuclear munitions has begun,” the Belarusian leader said in a video shared online, adding that it was “possible” the weapons had already arrived.

Moscow announced that it was sending tactical nuclear weapons to its neighbour in response to what it called a “sharp escalation” on its western border. An aide to President Zelensky of Ukraine said a counter-offensive against Russian forces had already begun.
