Putin confirms his complicity in crimes by breaching nuclear deal.
Russian President Vladimir Putin yet again states his complicity in a crime by violating the nuclear nonproliferation treaty.
That’s according to Mykhailo Podolyak, the adviser to the head of the Ukrainian President’s Office.
“Putin (RF) is too predictable. Making a statement about tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, he admits that he is afraid of losing & all he can do is scare with tactics... Second. He once again states his involvement in the crime. Violating the nuclear non-proliferation treaty...” Podolyak tweeted.
Earlier, Olesiy Danilov, Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, said Vladimir Putin’s announcement of tactical nuclear arms deployment in Belarus was a step toward internal destabilization in his country.
As Ukrinform reported, on March 25, Vladimir Putin said in an interview on Russian TV that the country intended to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. The decision, he said, was approved after the United Kingdom pledged to deliver to Ukraine a batch of artillery munitions containing depleted uranium. These rounds are not considered nuclear weapons. The White House said the intentions of Vladimir Putin, whom the International Criminal Court suspects of war crimes, would not influence the U.S. nuclear posture.
At the same time, the U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War think tank said Russia had likely had the intention to deploy nukes in Belarus even before launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
