Russia has finished deploying its tactical nuclear weapons to the edge of Europe - Belarus.

Alexander Lukashenko , the president of Belarus , announced that Russia has completed the delivery of its tactical nuclear weapons to the territory of the country.

We are talking about an initiative that has raised serious concerns in neighboring Poland and the entire region.

Lukashenko announced this at the meeting of the Eurasian Economic Union in St. Petersburg.

According to him, the delivery of weapons was completed in October. He did not say how many weapons were delivered and where they were placed.

According to him, the military is training every day. "We learn every day, every day. Even former Wagnerians who stayed with us are working in our units today and sharing their experience," said the head of Belarus.

Tactical nuclear weapons are designed for use on the battlefield. It has a short range and low yield compared to more powerful nuclear warheads used in long-range missiles.

Russia said that it retains control over the weapons it sends to Belarus.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus in March. Putin also said that the high-precision "Iskander" missile systems, which he previously supplied to Belarus, will be equipped with this weapon.

In May, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Hrenin signed documents on the process of storing Russia's non-strategic nuclear weapons in storage in Belarus.
