The high representative of Foreign Policy of the European Union (EU), Josep Borrell, has affirmed that the deployment of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarusian territory supposes “a threat to European security”. The agreement between Moscow and Minsk to store this type of weapon in Belarus supposes, according to Borrell, “another irresponsible escalation of the conflict.” “Belarus can still stop him, it is his choice,” the senior official wrote on his official Twitter account. In the opinion of the Kiev government, with this deployment, Moscow “takes the Belarusian regime as a nuclear hostage”, which will contribute to destabilize the country and generate more rejection of Putin among its population. This was stated by the head of Security and Defense of Ukraine, Oleksi Danilov. NATO has also criticized the deal, calling Russian rhetoric on nuclear weapons “dangerous and irresponsible.” Meanwhile, Lithuania has announced that it will request new sanctions against Moscow and Minsk for their nuclear plans. “Belarus supports and helps Moscow’s aggression, and is increasingly integrated into its military plans,” the Lithuanian statement explained.
