Ukrainian intelligence representative Andriy Yusov noted that such a decision of Vladimir Putin could be a reaction to the daily loss of his army on the battlefield. The representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andriy Yusov believes that the Russian Federation has decided to raise the rate of statements on the placement of nuclear weapons in Belarus. He stated this on Radio Liberty.

In particular, it is a decision to place nuclear weapons in Belarus. "It is clear that it is an increase in rates. Although the United States and the European Union in these situations are very clear and unequivocally reacting that they do not plan to lead this blackmail," Andrei Yusov said.

Further, intelligence representative answered the journalists' questions about whether Ukraine was aware of the facts of nuclear weapons and the construction of special facilities for its storage. "This information has grounds. And of course, nothing unnoticed here can be moved when moving nuclear weapons and construction of such objects," Andrei Yusov continued. On March 26, France urged the Russian Federation to refuse to place nuclear weapons in Belarus.
