Putin to station nuclear weapons in Belarus for first time in decades.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Moscow will station tactical nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus, marking the first time since the mid-1990s that Moscow will have based such arms outside the country. The move comes at a time of growing tensions with the West over the Ukraine war and as some Russian commentators speculate about possible nuclear strikes. Putin said that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko had long raised the issue of stationing tactical nuclear weapons in his country.
