 Nuclear weapons sent by Russia to Belarus will target Europe. Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered tactical nuclear weapons to be sent to Russia's ally, Belarus, on April 9th. It was stated by the Organization for World Peace. As of now, there are no signs that Russia is currently moving or has already moved weapons to Belarus. But President Joe Biden, along with officials in Ukraine and Lithuania, both of which border Belarus remains concerned about the possibility. Putin stated that he decided to send weapons because of similar decisions made by the United Kingdom and United States, which have sent tactical nuclear weapons and armor-piercing shells to allies including Ukraine, Turkey and Belgium. Lithuanian officials believe that the weapons order is Russia's attempt to threaten the entire European continent. If Belarus does receive nuclear weapons, it is likely that the Russian agenda will utilize those weapons to target countries both in and out of NATO, in Eastern and Central Europe. This would put several European countries and their citizens in danger. Specifically, Russia's ongoing war on Ukraine makes the latter a likely target, especially because Belarus borders a large portion of Northwestern and Central Ukraine. This would allow Russia to send missiles there both more easily and more quickly. Whether Putin's weapons are used to harm other countries or only brandished as a threat, the possibility of nuclear warfare is quite alarming. Therefore, Ukraine has contacted the United Nations Security Council in response and requested an emergency meeting. Joining with other countries to create a united front against Russia is the best way to handle the threat Russia poses to international peace. By discussing the nuclear threat, the Security Council can create measures to prevent conflict and maintain international peace and security.
