Biden Warns of Real Threat of Putin's Tactical Nuclear Weapons.

President Joe Biden has warned that the threat of Russian President Vladimir Putin using tactical nuclear weapons is “real.” Putin said Friday that the first tactical nuclear weapons have been deployed to Belarus, and that the rest of the batch will be delivered before the end of the year. Ukraine pressed on with the long-awaited counteroffensive it launched earlier this month to reclaim occupied territory. Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said last week that Moscow had provided his country with nuclear weapons three times more powerful than those used to bomb the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
