Commentary of the Russian Embassy in the USA
đź“ŚWe paid attention to the statements from the White House and the State Department that have become more frequent in recent days regarding cooperation between Russia and Belarus in the military-nuclear sphere. We are again accused of irresponsible and provocative behavior.
đź“Ś We would like to emphasize that we are talking about the sovereign right of Russia and Belarus to ensure their security in the ways that we consider necessary in the context of a large-scale hybrid war unleashed by Washington against us.
đź“Ś At the same time, the measures taken are fully consistent with our international legal obligations. As Minister of Defense General of the Army S.K. Shoigu stated, Russia does not transfer nuclear weapons to Belarus: control over them and the decision on their use remain with the Russian side.
📌 Washington, before blaming others, should have done introspection. The United States has kept a formidable arsenal of its nuclear weapons in Europe for decades. Carry out “joint nuclear missions” with NATO allies. They are working out scenarios for the use of special ammunition against our country.
