Russia's Nuclear Weapons Move to Belarus Raises Tensions with West

Putin confirms that Russia has deployed tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus as a warning to the West, but says he sees no need to use them for now. He also announced that more nuclear warheads will be delivered to Belarus by the end of the year. Putin criticized the West for trying to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia in Ukraine, but said talks to reduce Russia's nuclear arsenal were a non-starter. He also warned that if Ukraine received F-16 fighter jets from the US, they would be a serious danger and could drag NATO further into the conflict.
