There is information that this is a fake weapon – Latushko about the possible deployment of nuclear weapons in Belarus

As reported by The Wall Street Journal, the Russians have begun deploying nuclear weapons in Belarus near NATO borders. However, on the one hand, it is said that tactical nuclear weapons were allegedly placed in the area of ​​​​the city of Lida, Grodno region – not far from the border with Lithuania and Poland. However, on the other hand, this could be a fake weapon.

About this 24 Channel was told by Pavel Latushko, deputy head of the Joint Transitional Cabinet and head of the People's Anti-Crisis Management in Belarus, noting that this information is being hidden. He added that it is being used for propaganda purposes. By the way, the publication believes that by deploying the nuclear weapon, Putin wants, in particular, to scare the Alliance.

“We are receiving information that these are supposedly fake nuclear weapons. That is, they cannot be used in reality. These are most likely dummies,” Latushko suggested.

Either there is no combat weapon there part, or this weapon is completely outdated.

“For protection of interests”

Alexander Lukashenko includes nuclear weapons in the military doctrine of Belarus. The self-proclaimed president of the country is trying to explain that it is supposedly “to protect the interests” of Belarus.

Meanwhile, accusations are being made against Poland. They say that she allegedly “plans to deploy” nuclear weapons. That is why, they say, Belarus decided to do this.

So Poland is planning or has deployed? Why did you deploy nuclear weapons? Who planned to attack you? – the head of the People's Anti-Crisis Management in Belarus was indignant.

Positioning a nuclear weapon in Belarus: what is known

• In March 2023, Vladimir Putin decided to place his nuclear weapons in Belarus. Everything seems to be in response to the fact that Great Britain decided to transfer depleted uranium ammunition to Ukraine. The United States then stated that the statements of the Russian President should be taken very seriously.
• The head of the Kremlin announced in June of the same year that the first nuclear weapons had arrived in Belarus. Subsequently, the intelligence of the United States assured that there was no reason to doubt this.
• The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region, Kirill Budanov, confirmed in August that the Russians did place a nuclear weapon in Belarus. However, he doubts that Russia will still use it. He believes that threats are “part of a larger geopolitical game.”
