Belarus possesses nuclear weapon delivery systems but no warheads, Ukrainian foreign intelligence (SZRU) chief Oleh Ivashchenko said in an interview with Ukrinform published on May 26.<\/p>\n

Belarus has been a key ally to Moscow and has previously been reported as hosting Russian tactical nuclear arms<\/a> on its territory, after the two countries signed<\/a> an agreement in May 2023.<\/p>\n

Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko said in December of the same year that the transfer of Russian nuclear weapons to Belarus<\/a> was completed in early October.<\/p>\n

But according to Ivashchenko, at the present time Belarus does not possess any nuclear weapons. <\/p>\n

“There are no warheads. They are setting up storage facilities, preparing, and building. Lukashenko says they will have Oreshnik<\/a> by the end of the year. But this looks like wishful thinking. As of today, there is nothing like that, and it is unlikely that it will happen,” Ivashchenko said.<\/p>\n

Russia and Belarus have deepened nuclear cooperation since the start of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. <\/p>\n

They held the second stage of tactical weapons nuclear drills, amid escalating tensions between Moscow and the West, the Kremlin’s Defense Ministry said<\/a> in June, 2024. <\/p>\n

The first stage of the exercises, which were ordered<\/a> by Russian President Vladimir Putin on May 6, 2024, involved missile units in Russia’s Southern Military District, including the occupied territories of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly made nuclear threats<\/a> against Ukraine and the West since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022. <\/p>\n

The threats have failed to materialize, and Russia continues to wage its all-out war without using its nuclear arsenal.<\/p>\n
