Recent reports indicate that Russia has deployed nuclear weapons to Belarus, marking a significant escalation in military positioning against NATO countries. The deployment includes tactical nuclear weapons, now confirmed to be in Belarus, as highlighted by recent tweets. Russia has long maintained the capability to target NATO countries with nuclear weapons, with modernized nuclear storage facilities already in place in Kaliningrad. Concerns have been raised about the security of these newly moved warheads, with one commentator describing them as potentially the least secure nuclear weapons in the world. Efforts have been made to secure the Belarusian storage site, but it reportedly falls below Russian security standards. The likely location for these weapons is near Asipovichy, in the Mahileu region of Belarus. This information is supported by Western resources and confirmed through satellite imagery, which has identified a military site near the Belarusian Osipovichi as the storage base for these nuclear weapons.

According to Western resources, a nuclear weapons storage base has been created near the Belarusian Osipovichi Previously there was no clear evidence that the objects were prepared for this purpose, but now satellite imagery confirms this https://t.co/tEytWhW412
If Russian nuclear warheads have been moved to Belarusian storage site that I expect, then these are now the very likely the least secure nuclear weapons in the world. Attempts have been made over the past year to secure the site, but it is still below even Russian standards.
