Russia seems to have overlooked its agreement with China to not deploy nuclear weapons beyond their national borders, according to Michael McFaul on Sunday.
Putin's decision reportedly came in response to the United Kingdom providing Ukraine with armor-piercing rounds, according to the Associated Press. The Russian leader has falsely accused the U.K. of providing Ukraine weapons"with a nuclear opponent."
"I would like to highlight that, without breaking our international commitments on not spreading nuclear weapons, we already helped our Belarus colleagues to re-equip their planes. Planes of Belarus Air Forces. Ten planes are ready for using this type of weapon," Putin said during a broadcast on Saturday."We already transferred to Belarus our well known and very effective Iskander complex, and it can also be a carrier.
Days before his decision, Moscow and Beijing issued a joint statement on the deployment of nuclear weapons abroad, according to Russian news agency TASS. Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives at the Grand Kremlin Palace for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday in Moscow. Michael McFaul, former U.S. ambassador to Russia, said that Putin disregarded Xi by stationing nuclear weapons in Belarus after they both agreed to not deploy nuclear weapons beyond their national territories.
