Russian President Putin said that a special storage facility for tactical nuclear weapons is being built on the territory of Belarus.
Lithuania intends to seek the introduction of new sanctions against Russia and Belarus due to their plans to place Russian tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus. This was announced on Sunday, March 26, in an official statement by the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It is emphasized that Vilnius considers such a move as “another attempt by two unpredictable dictatorial regimes to threaten their neighbors and the entire European continent.”
“These are desperate measures by Putin and Lukashenko aimed at creating another wave of tension and destabilization in Europe. Such actions further involve Belarus in a war with Ukraine and a confrontation with the democratic world,” the message said. .
The Lithuanian Foreign Ministry emphasized that Belarus is losing its sovereignty, becoming dependent on the Kremlin’s military plans and contributing to the increased risk of an armed conflict in the Baltic region.
“Together with its Euro-Atlantic partners, Lithuania will decide how to respond to the militaristic plans of the Russian and Belarusian regimes. As one of the response measures, Lithuania will call for the adoption of new sanctions,” the ministry added .
Remember, on March 25, Putin said that Moscow agreed with Minsk on the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus. He argues that this “will not violate the obligations under START.”
The North Atlantic Alliance criticized Russia for its dangerous and irresponsible nuclear rhetoric a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his intention to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.
