National Security Council Secretary on Shoigu's statements about nuclear Iskander missile systems in Belarus: Russia's pure bluff

Oleksii Danilov, the Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine (NSDC), has called Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu's statement about the alleged transfer of Iskander-M missile systems, which can carry nuclear charges, to Belarus a bluff.

Quote: "As for nuclear weapons, this is a pure bluff of the Russian Federation.  They have a great desire to start negotiations as soon as possible and reach an agreement behind our backs so that we sit at the negotiating table with them."

If Russia supplies warheads, because now there are means of delivery of Iskander-M, as the Russian Defence Minister put it, I can say that they will continue to try to escalate this situation."

Details: According to Danilov, the results of French President Emmanuel Macron's upcoming visit to China will be important.
