“The President of Russia and I are not going to blackmail anyone, especially with nuclear weapons,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying at a solemn meeting on the eve of the Independence Day of Belarus.
Earlier, Putin said that in the coming months, Russia will transfer to Belarus the Iskander-M systems, which can use ballistic and cruise missiles in both conventional and nuclear versions.
The press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov said that Putin did not talk about the transfer of missiles with nuclear weapons to Minsk, the conversation was about complexes technically capable of carrying various types of weapons.
