Russia's Tactical Nuclear Weapons Move Raises Concerns in Congress and NATO

Members of Congress express concern over reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to move tactical nuclear weapons into Belarus, but emphasize that the threat should not deter the US from continuing its support for Ukraine. NATO criticized Russia for its "dangerous and irresponsible" nuclear rhetoric, but has not seen any changes in Russia's nuclear posture. The threat demonstrates the need for US leaders to see the threat as vital to US interests and not allow Putin's threats to delay critical weapon systems needed by Ukraine.
