Russia delivers first nuclear arms to Belarus, says Putin

Russia has put the first of its nuclear arms in neighboring Belarus following an agreement between the two nations last month, President Vladimir Putin announced Friday.

'The first nuclear charges were delivered to the territory of Belarus,' Putin said at a plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, underlining that more deployments would be made in the coming months.

'This is the first part. But by the end of the summer, by the end of the year, we will complete this work entirely,' he said, calling the move an 'element of deterrence.'
