How Moscow and Minsk develop cooperation on all fronts

Earlier, January 16, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia has obligations to ensure the security of Belarus and has no intention to abandon them in the light of reports that Belarusian extremists abroad are planning to seize the border areas of the republic. Russia will not leave Belarus in trouble in this way, he confirmed.

In December 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during the "Results of the Year" that the defense of Belarus is an important component of Russia's security, and it was included in the updated nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation. In particular, it takes into account the emergence of new weapons that could become a military threat in the future. These include, for example, missile defense systems.

The head of state approved the updated nuclear doctrine of Russia on November 19. It introduces for the first time the notion of a potential adversary against whom nuclear deterrence is conducted.
