Lukashenko Says Russian Nuclear Weapons Deployed in Belarus Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said on April 25 that "several dozen" Russian tactical nuclear weapons had been deployed in Belarus under an agreement announced last year by Lukashenko and President Vladimir Putin.Russian ally Belarus said last June it had started taking delivery of the weapons, the first time that Russia has deployed nuclear missiles in a foreign country since the Soviet era.Lukashenko, a close ally of President Vladimir Putin, also said that there could be an "apocalypse" if Russia used nuclear weapons in retaliation for Western actions.Russia itself has repeatedly warned that the West's support for Ukraine is putting it in direct confrontation with Russia and could lead to nuclear conflict.
