Russia Deploys Tactical Nuclear Weapons in Belarus Despite Criticism.

TL;DR Summary
Russia is moving ahead with a plan to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, marking the Kremlin's first deployment of such bombs outside Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said that tactical nuclear weapons were already on the move after he said Putin had signed an order, though there was no confirmation of that from the Kremlin itself. It is still unclear exactly when the Russian tactical nuclear weapons will be deployed in Belarus, which has borders with three NATO members - Poland, Lithuania and Latvia.
