As Russian forces continue to engage in fierce fighting in eastern and southern Ukraine, Belarus, an ally of Russia, has announced the deployment of short-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. It seems that there is also an aim to check the side.
The Russian army is believed to have advanced troops in Bakhmut, one of the Ukrainian bases in the eastern Donetsk province, and fierce fighting continues.
In addition, the British Ministry of Defense pointed out on the 1st that Russian forces are continuing to shell the Dnipro River along the Dnipro River, including in the southern province of Kherson, including the provincial capital Kherson. I am analyzing that there is.
On the other hand, the Belarusian Ministry of Defense, which is allied with Russia, announced on the 1st that it had deployed the short-range ballistic missile "Iskander" that it had purchased from Russia.
"Iskander" is a missile developed by Russia that can be equipped with a nuclear warhead, and President Putin indicated at a summit meeting with President Lukashenko of Belarus last June that he would rush to deploy it to Belarus.
In order to recapture its territory, Ukraine is appealing for further military support, such as requesting the provision of tanks and fighter planes from Western countries. It seems that there is also an aim to check the side.
Under these circumstances, Russia will hold a military parade on the 2nd to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory over the Nazi German army in the battlefield once called Stalingrad during World War II. Other ceremonies will be held.
Interest is focused on what Putin will say at the ceremony about a military invasion of Ukraine.
