Belarus-Russia Alliance Deepens Amidst Political Turmoil and Military Conflict.
A Russian official has warned that Belarusian nationalists fighting alongside Ukrainians might plot to overthrow the government, which has been allied with Putin. The official implored Belarusian law enforcement agencies and special services, supported by the Regional Grouping of Forces (RGV), to take such risks into account and "repulse 'pinpoint' provocations and the enemy's full-scale invasion of the territory of Belarus" if necessary. Putin announced Moscow will build storage facilities for tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus and train Belarusian pilots to deliver the warheads from their own Su-24 aircraft.
