Ukraine's Foreign Ministry on Putin's Statement

Ukraine calls on G7 countries and the EU to warn Minsk about the long-term consequences for Belarus if it agrees to accept tactical nuclear weapons from Russia.

Ukraine demands an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council regarding Russia's announcements about the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. This is stated in a statement from Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The information is provided by unian.net.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry notes that Russia's recent statements regarding the intention to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian territory undermine the foundations of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the architecture of nuclear disarmament, and the international system.

It is mentioned that the intention to place nuclear weapons on Belarusian territory, contrary to the obligations undertaken under the Non-Proliferation Treaty, will make this country a hostage of the Kremlin and will have catastrophic consequences for its future.

Recall that Putin previously announced that Russia intends to deploy its tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.
