Putin's Nuclear Plans for Belarus Raise Concerns and Tensions.

Former national security adviser John Bolton has warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin "may not be bluffing" about his plans to move nuclear weapons into neighboring Belarus as Moscow's war on Ukraine stretches into its second year. Putin's threat to station the weapons in Belarus has been condemned by the U.S. and NATO, and Ukraine has called the move "nuclear blackmail." Bolton noted that Belarus could potentially be reabsorbed into Russia, calling the possibility "something I don't think we're paying enough attention to."
