US President Joe Biden called the statement of his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on the deployment of nuclear weapons in Belarus “a dangerous statement.”
On Saturday, the master of the Kremlin announced that he was going to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, which is headed by Alexander Lukashenko, a leader who is one of Putin’s closest allies.
Washington condemned the Russian declaration, more than a year after Moscow launched its invasion of pro-Western Ukraine, which borders both Russia and Belarus.
However, US officials have indicated that there is no indication that Russia is in the process of transferring nuclear weapons.
“They haven’t done it yet,” Biden said.
