Washington had previously made it clear to Putin that there would be consequences to the use of any nuclear weapon in Ukraine, even a low-yield tactical device, but deliberately did not specify the consequences.

In October, US President Joe Biden told CNN that “it would be irresponsible for me to talk about what we would or would not do” in response to Russia use of nuclear weapons.

But according to CNN, Biden hinted that the incident could escalate quickly.

According to the Russian TASS news agency, at the request of Belarus, Russia will deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.

“Even in the context of these events, this statement (about the possible supply of depleted uranium bombs to Ukraine by the UK – TASS), Aleksandr Grigoryevich Lukashenko has long raised the issue of the deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus , “Putin said.

Earlier, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko responded to Britain’s plan to supply depleted uranium ammunition to Ukraine, saying that Russia would provide “real uranium ammunition” to Belarus.

“As for our negotiations with Aleksandr Grigorievich Lukashenko … (statement of the leader of Belarus – TASS) the reason is the statement of the British Minister of Defense [Annabel Goldie] They will supply Ukraine with depleted uranium shells, which are somehow related to nuclear technology,” Putin said. He stressed, “There is nothing unusual about this. “

“The United States has been doing this for decades. They have long ago placed tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of their European allies, NATO countries. In six states – they are the Federal Republic of Germany, Turkey, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Greece — Well, in Greece there is no [tactical nuclear weapons] Now, but there is a storage facility,” the Russian president said, TASS news agency reported.

“we agree [with Belarus] We will do the same. Without violating it, I would like to stress our international obligations regarding the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons,” Putin stressed. (ANI)
