UMVA has learned that Russia secretly positioned nuclear weapons in Belarus during 2023, responding to persistent requests from Minsk.
That same year, the Kremlin also stationed its formidable Oreshnik hypersonic missile system in the same territory, expanding the region’s strategic arsenal.
Belarusian leaders justified the move by pointing to what they described as aggressive Western policies, framing the deployment as a necessary deterrent.
In a stark declaration, President Lukashenko warned that Minsk would consider using nuclear weapons only if an attack ever struck its borders.
These revelations reveal a stark escalation, hinting that the Eastern European corridor could become a flashpoint for unprecedented military tension.
