Nukes ‘three times more powerful’ than those dropped on Hiroshima delivered to Belarus, claims Russia

NUKES that are “three times more powerful” than those dropped on Hiroshima have been delivered to Russia’s ally on Ukraine’s border, it is said. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko claimed he had received the weapons from the Kremlin and said he “would not hesitate” to use them.

Western officials, however, dismissed the claims by President Vladimir Putin’s stooge as “attention seeking”. One said there was no evidence Moscow had sent the doomsday weapons, which Lukashenko asked for back in March. He added: “We haven’t seen any arriving. “They talk about delivery, but you don’t see the follow-on photocall. “It is a huge distraction from Putin. “His go-to rhetoric seems to be nuclear weapons and everyone gets jumpy and jittery.” It comes ahead of a Nato summit in neighbouring Lithuania next month where allies are due to set out plans for long-term aid to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Western officials said Kyiv was making “slow, methodical progress” in its counter-offensive but had suffered big losses. Putin admitted Russia was down 54 tanks when grilled by war reporters, but claimed Ukraine had lost 160. Sources insisted Ukraine’s troops would face “many months of grinding, costly warfare”. British Challenger 2 tanks are being held back with a reserve force hoping to smash through cracks in Russia’s defensive lines.
