Vladimir Putin has announced the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. Security expert Christian Mölling on real concerns, false fears and the cynical calculations of the Russian President.
According to the security expert Christian Mölling, the stationing of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus is a breach of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, an attempt at intimidation and an action that – if the West did something comparable – “Russia would freak out”. Nevertheless, Mölling showed himself in conversation for the starPodcast “Ukraine – the situation” on Sunday confident that the use of nuclear weapons in Europe is no closer: “No, not at all,” assured the research director of the German Society for Foreign Relations.
