In his comments on Saturday, Putin likened the move to the U.S. stationing its weapons in Europe, while insisting that Russia would not violate its nuclear non-proliferation promises.
A top security adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Oleksiy Danilov, said Russia’s plan would destabilize Belarus, which he said had been taken hostage by Moscow. Experts said Russia’s move was significant since it had until now been proud that unlike the United States, it did not deploy nuclear weapons outside its borders. It may be the first time since the mid-1990s that it has done so.Mykhailo Podolyak, another senior Zelensky adviser, on Sunday scoffed at Putin’s plan on Twitter.Tactical nuclear weapons refer to those used for specific gains on a battlefield rather than those with the capacity to wipe out cities.
Putin said Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko had long requested the deployment. Lukashenko has not publicly addressed the comments. He has often portrayed the war as Moscow fighting a Ukraine in the grip of supposed Nazis, abetted by Western powers menacing Russia.
