"Putin's plan to move nukes to Belarus raises concerns in Ukraine and US"

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he would move tactical nuclear weapons into Belarus, which has alarmed US officials and lawmakers. However, the US has not seen any indication that Russia is going to use nuclear weapons imminently and will not be changing its own posture. Putin said the reason for the decision was the UK supplying depleted uranium shells to Ukraine, though British officials have called such munitions "a standard component and ... nothing to do with nuclear weapons." The weapons Putin would move into Belarus would be less powerful and with a shorter range than other kinds of nuclear weapons.
