Vladimir Putin has said he will be stationing 'tactical' nuclear weapons in Belarus in response to western nations including the UK increasing their supply of weapons and ammunition to Ukraine.
The Russian president has said that the decision to station the weapons in Belarus was made in light of Britain supplying armour-piercing rounds to Ukraine.
A tactical nuclear weapon is typically smaller and is designed to be used in a battlefield scenario, as opposed to a larger 'strategic' weapon which would be used to target infrastructure, including cities.
