Belarus gave away their nuclear weapons after the Cold War. Will Putin send them back?
U.S. Skeptical of Putin's Pledge to Put Tactical Nuclear Weapons in Belarushree days after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his intentions to deploy “tactical nuclear weapons” to Belarus, the Kremlin ally said it was willing to host the arsenal to defend itself.
Putin said he was willing to transfer his nation’s nuclear weapons because Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko had requested them. Just last week, Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping signed a lengthy joint-declaration that stated, in part: “All nuclear-weapon states should refrain from deploying nuclear weapons abroad.” Yet Putin cast the move as “nothing unusual” because the U.S. military has pre-positioned nuclear bombs in NATO nations since the earliest days of the Cold War.
“We haven’t seen anything that looks like what the Russians normally built for nuclear weapons storage,” said Hans Kristensen, a nuclear weapons expert at the Federation of American Scientists, who analyzes commercial satellite imagery and other open-source intelligence on nations’ strategic forces. “I would certainly rule out a permanent storage site, unless they’ve been able to secretly build all this,” he said.
