Russia and Belarus Launch Joint Nuclear Strike Drills

Brendan Cole

Russia and Belarus have started nuclear weapon exercises as part of the "second stage" of drills between the countries known as the "Union State."

Russia's Defense Ministry said on Tuesday that the countries had started practicing the joint combat use of nonstrategic nuclear weapons.

Vladimir Putin last month announced nuclear weapons drills would take place amid heightened tension over his full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the Kremlin's rhetoric about the use of such arms.
