(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 28 - The Foreign Ministry of Belarus has declared that it is forced to host Russian tactical nuclear weapons on its territory in response to the growing aggressiveness of NATO countries which threaten the security of Belarus itself.
"The unilateral coercive measures in the political and economic spheres are added to the growing military potential of NATO's neighboring countries right on our borders. Belarus is taking forced retaliatory measures to strengthen its own security and defence," the Defense Ministry said, according to Tass reports. .
