Budanov, Belarus has received nuclear weapons, but does not know how to use them
The Russian Federation recently delivered the first nuclear warheads to Belarus, as Vladimir Putin announced months ago, but Alexander Lukashenko’s country cannot use them because it has not received the necessary preparation: this was said in statements to the RBC channel Ukraine the head of the Ukrainian military intelligence service (GUR), Kyrylo Budanov. For Budanov, the Iskander short-range missiles with a tactical nuclear warhead are “a means of nuclear deterrence, but also a means of upping the ante.” Before delivery, “training” was carried out using simulators.

Ukraine: Kiev forces advance in the Zaporizhia area
Ukrainian forces have entered the “front line” of Russian strongholds in the Zaporizhia region, a sign that Kiev is closing in on Moscow’s vast network of fortified trenches along the southern front.
The Ukrainian army said on Thursday that its units had advanced on two villages south and east of Robotyne, a village in Zaporizhzhia that Kiev captured last week as part of a grueling counteroffensive that is bringing increasing success.
“In the Novodanylivka-Novoprokopivka direction they were successful, consolidating their positions, firing artillery at identified enemy targets and conducting counter-battery operations,” the Army General Staff said on Thursday.
Testimony reviewed by CNN sheds light on the many challenges facing Ukrainian troops as they try to break through a dense system of Russian minefields, anti-tank obstacles and tunnels stretching across parts of southern and eastern Ukraine.
