In his column, a former American diplomat, who is now a senior researcher at Brookings Institution, said that in an interview with March 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia would place tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus for Belarus. How the US is shared by nuclear weapons with NATO allies.
"The reality is that even if Russian nuclear weapons are really placed in Belarus, it will not increase the military threat to Ukraine or NATO," Pifer said.

According to him, the placement of nuclear weapons in Belarus can be a response to the supply of Western tanks "Leopard" to Ukraine or the defeat of Russian troops in Bakhmut.
