EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Josep Borrell said on Sunday that the deployment of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus threatens European security.

Borrell wrote on his Twitter account: “The deployment of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus means an irresponsible escalation and a threat to European security,” stressing that Minsk can still stop this move.

He also confirmed the readiness of the European Union to respond by imposing new sanctions.

In developing

It is noteworthy that Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday said that Moscow had agreed with Minsk on the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus, explaining that the necessary bunkers for these weapons were being built and would be ready by July next year.

He also stressed that the reason for such a move is linked to the UK’s announcement of its intention to supply Ukraine with depleted uranium munitions, pointing out that Belarus has long been asking to host Russian nuclear weapons on its territory.

“The answer will be terrible.”

It is noteworthy that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Putin’s ally, has confirmed in previous statements that “if London supplies Kiev with uranium, it will give it real uranium,” as he put it.

He also believed in statements a few days ago that once British munitions exploded on Russian positions, “the response would be terrible and a lesson for the entire planet.”

“Uranium” debate

Lukashenka’s remarks came after the “uranium” debate flared up last week, with British Defense Secretary Annabelle Goldie saying her country was seeking to transfer uranium munitions to Kiev as part of its efforts to secure the Challenger 2 war effort. tanks and “armor-piercing missiles”.

Depleted uranium is commonly used in armor-penetrating ammunition because it becomes sharper on impact, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. It is also “less radioactive than natural uranium”.
