NATO says Russia’s plan is dangerous and irresponsible
Ukraine has called for an emergency United Nations meeting to counter Russia’s “nuclear blackmail”.
NATO has called Vladimir Putin’s plans to store tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus ‘dangerous and irresponsible’.
NATO is “closely monitoring” the situation and said the move would not lead it to change its own nuclear strategy.
The U.S. said it did not believe Russia was preparing to use nuclear weapons.
Putin compared the move to the U.S. stationing its weapons in Europe.
But NATO described Russia’s reference to nuclear sharing as “misleading”.
