The US Defense Intelligence Agency has “no reason to doubt” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claim that Russia has moved a first batch of tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, senior DIA officials said on Friday
Putin said last month at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum that “the first [Russian] nuclear warheads were delivered to the territory of Belarus,” adding that they were placed there for “deterrence.” Russia has about 4,477 deployed and reserve nuclear warheads, including around 1,900 tactical nuclear weapons, according to the Federation of American Scientists.
” When pressed, however, Wallace also declined to elaborate on the signs he had seen. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller similarly declined to answer questions earlier this month about where the weapons actually are, but he said the US expects Russia to “uphold” its nonproliferation obligations.
