The Russian president said he will deploy nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus.
President Vladimir Putin says Russian nuclear weapons will be stationed in Belarus, drawing sharp criticism from the West.
The European Union has called Putin’s comments irresponsible and warned the Kremlin’s ally Belarus that more sanctions could follow.
Ukraine has called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council, accusing Moscow of making Minsk a “nuclear hostage”.
The Russian president also warned that he would be forced to respond if the United Kingdom supplied Ukraine with depleted uranium armor-piercing munitions.
So can the war take a new turn? And how might NATO respond?
