WASHINGTON, 21 October 2021, (TON): Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said “the US military has begun active work to modernize tactical nuclear weapons and storage bases in European countries.”
“The US, with the full support of NATO allies, has stepped up work to modernize tactical nuclear weapons and storage sites in Europe,” Shoigu said at a joint meeting of the Russian and Belarusian defense ministries.
According to him, “of particular concern is the involvement of pilots of non-nuclear member states of the bloc in exercises to practice the use of tactical nuclear weapons.” “We see this as a direct violation of the Treaty on the Non-Pr-oliferation of Nuclear We-apons,” Russian Defense Minister emphasized.
He said that the joint exercises of Russia and Belarus “Shield of the Union” will become a key event in 2023.
