Russia's Plan for Tactical Nukes in Belarus Sparks Outrage and Leaves Ukrainian Town in Post-Apocalyptic State

Russia's plan to station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus has provoked outrage from NATO and Ukraine's Western allies. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the move on Saturday, claiming that a deal had been struck with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. NATO criticized Russia's nuclear rhetoric as "dangerous and irresponsible," while the EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell urged Belarus not to host the weapons, warning of sanctions against Minsk. Meanwhile, fighting continues in Ukraine, with one town described as "post-apocalyptic" due to the destruction caused by Russian strikes.
