Ukraine urges Security Council meeting over Russia’s Belarus nuclear plans
Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, tweeted Sunday that Putin’s announcement was “a step towards internal destabilization” of Belarus that maximized “the level of negative perception and public rejection” of Russia and Putin in Belarusian society. The Kremlin, Danilov added, “took Belarus as a nuclear hostage.”
The explosion damaged residential buildings in the town of Kireyevsk in the Tula region, about 300 kilometers from the border with Ukraine and 175 kilometers south of Moscow. It left a crater about 15 meters in diameter and five meters deep, according to media reports.NATO chief warns China, Russia building ‘stronger and stronger partnership’

Tactical nuclear weapons are intended for use on the battlefield and have a short range and a low yield compared with much more powerful nuclear warheads fitted to long-range missiles. Russia plans to maintain control over the ones it sends to Belarus, and construction of storage facilities for them will be completed by July 1, Putin said.
