Tensions flare as Poland ramps up troops on Belarus border after Putin ‘ships tactical nukes’ to puppet pal Lukashenko

POLAND have ramped up the number of troops deployed on the border of Belarus after Putin reportedly shipped “tactical nukes” to Lukashenko. Polish authorities are protesting the “violation of its airspace” by two Belarusian helicopters today as tensions flared in the Ukraine War.

And they added that they had summoned Belarus’ top diplomat in Warsaw in protest. Poland’s ministry added that “NATO was notified” about the incident. It comes as Vladimir Putin vowed to put tactical nuclear weapons in Nato’s backyard as Ukraine’s long-awaited fightback gained momentum. The Kremlin tyrant said he will deploy the nukes in Belarus this month. Putin met his henchman, Belarus dictator Alexander Lukashenko, in Russia’s Black Sea city Sochi back in June. He reportedly told him: “We will immediately begin activities related to the deployment of appropriate types of weapons on your territory.” It is the first time since 1991 that Russia has moved tactical nuclear weapons on to foreign territory and comes after a pact was signed by Lukashenko last month. Russia will keep control of the nukes, which can be launched on Iskander-M missiles or from Su-25 planes. Belarus has both. Anxieties have sparked in Poland and in neighboring Lithuania after mercenaries from the Russia-linked Wagner group arrived in Belarus following their short-lived rebellion against the Kremlin in June.
