A State Department spokesman said Washington sees no reason to adjust its own nuclear and non-nuclear forces. The ministry also pointed to long-standing, well-established channels of communication with Moscow on nuclear matters.
The Foreign Ministry stressed that Russia, as a nuclear power, has a special responsibility to ensure the command, control and disposal of its nuclear forces, as well as “ensure that no actions are taken that would endanger strategic stability”.
Earlier, the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said: He insisted on the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in the republic, so that “no one gets in the way.” He noted that no one has ever fought nuclear power.
