Ukraine war: Russia's threat to station nuclear warheads in Belarus – what you need to know

He was reacting to questioning from journalists as to whether he believed Belarus had been taking delivery of Russian tactical nuclear weapons.

Key Points: 
  • He was reacting to questioning from journalists as to whether he believed Belarus had been taking delivery of Russian tactical nuclear weapons.
  • If true, it’s the first time Russia has deployed nuclear warheads outside its borders since the end of the cold war.
  • It would change the nature of the relationship between Russia and Belarus and bring Belarus deeper under Russian control.

The real target

    • This will require a significant Russian military presence and permanent military bases in Belarus.
    • Belarusians do not want to have Russian nuclear weapons on their soil.
    • Researchers from Chatham House who regularly conduct surveys in Belarus have found that 74% of respondents in their March 2023 survey objected to deployment.
    • After Russia went into Ukraine, a Chatham House survey found that 47% were against the invasion, while only 33% were in favour.

Fallout from Chornobyl

    • The memory of the Chornobyl disaster in 1986.
    • About 70% of the radioactive fallout landed on its territory, and there is evidence that Moscow deliberately seeded clouds so that radioactive rain fell over Belarus rather than drift towards Moscow.
    • The political fallout was slower but no less significant: over the years, Chornobyl commemorations have become an annual rallying point for anti-Lukashenko opposition.

Consequences for Belarus and beyond

    • Consolidating his control over Belarus would be a significant strategic victory for Putin’s imperial ambitions.
    • Preoccupied with fighting in Ukraine and lacking a clear and decisive policy on Belarus, the west has no obvious immediate response.
    • But if Moscow follows through with its threat it would be a dangerous moment – not just for Belarus but for Europe as a whole.

Elizabeth Gilbert, the celebrated author of Eat, Pray, Love, has cancelled her latest novel, The Snow Forest.

Key Points: 
  • Elizabeth Gilbert, the celebrated author of Eat, Pray, Love, has cancelled her latest novel, The Snow Forest.
  • Planned for publication in February 2024, there is now no release date.
  • Others argue that writing a work of historical fiction that humanises Russian people does not amount to taking sides in a war.

Non-violent resistance

    • The struggle against South African apartheid was largely won not by violent resistance, but through international campaigns that isolated the regime.
    • The sports boycotts, in particular, caused social and psychological pain and eroded the ideological foundation of the apartheid system.
    • Czechoslovakian resistance to Soviet occupation in 1968 involved leaflets in Russian, German and Polish explaining to the occupiers that they were in the wrong.
    • Secret radio stations broadcast advice and resistance news.
    • Civilian resistance has been an official part of Lithuania’s defence strategy ever since.

The battleground of culture

    • “Fiction and culture are essential to supporting mutual understanding and unleashing empathy,” she argues: “literature and creativity must not become a casualty of war.” However, Nossel also admits culture is not just caught in the crossfire; it is itself a battleground.
    • The war in Ukraine is being waged through “propaganda, intimidation, false narratives, and a campaign of cultural annihilation”.
    • Culture, says Nossel, must be mobilised as a “wellspring of defence”.
    • Since the invasion of Ukraine, creatives there have protected galleries, museums and collections.
    • They have used writing, dance, fashion, film, painting and poetry to assert their national identity and desire for peace.
