"Updates on Russia-Ukraine War: Deadly Weapons, Nuclear Deals, and Diplomatic Kabuki"

Russia has struck a deal with Belarus to station tactical nuclear weapons on its territory, according to President Vladimir Putin. Ukraine's deputy minister of defence has urged Ukrainians not to discuss details about the country's upcoming offensive. The head of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency will visit Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant next week to assess the serious security situation there. The United Nations has said it is "deeply concerned" by what it said were summary executions of prisoners of war by both Russian and Ukrainian forces on the battlefield. Police in Russia have placed a former speechwriter for Vladimir Putin on a wanted list of suspects.
