Official London is considering the possibility of creating long-range missiles against Russian nuclear weapons.

Points of attention

  • Britain is considering the possibility of creating new missiles to protect against the nuclear threat from the Russian Federation.
  • The debate within the EU regarding the possible use of nuclear weapons by Putin has been going on for a long time.
  • Britain and Germany plan to place new missiles on the territory of Germany to strengthen the defense strategy.
  • Sites for the placement of nuclear weapons in Belarus testify to the strengthening of the aggressive policy of the Russian Federation.

Britain and Germany want to save the world from nuclear war

As British journalists managed to find out, the discussion on this matter is already going on between the countries of Europe, because they admit that the illegitimate president of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, may be ready to use such a weapon.

It is indicated that the British authorities have already announced to their allies that they are determined to actively work with Germany on missiles capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 3,200 km.

According to preliminary data, such a weapon will be able to reach Moscow from Berlin, if the Russian dictator still dares to use tactical nuclear weapons.

In addition, it is emphasized that British Defense Minister John Healy discussed the project with his German counterpart in Berlin on Wednesday, July 24.

The head of the Ministry of Defense was there as part of a 48-hour diplomatic tour of Europe to strengthen cooperation between London and allies and to advance his "NATO First" defense strategy, the newspaper writes.

As of today, London and Berlin intend to deploy these missiles on the territory of Germany.

What is important to understand is that they will replace the American ones that will be deployed there in the coming years.

What is known about Russia's placement of nuclear weapons in Belarus

It is worth noting that recent statements by Putin and other Russian officials indicate that Moscow is lowering the threshold for the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

As The New York Times managed to find out, right now sites for the placement of nuclear weapons of the aggressor countries are being set up on the territory of Belarus.

The publication voiced the assumption that construction began as early as March 2023 in the area of the city of Osypovichi, where a military base was located during the times of the USSR.

The site where Russian nuclear weapons are planned to be placed is approximately 180 kilometers from the border with Ukraine, the publication writes.

Also, according to Zelensky, some European partners have expressed their willingness to help financially so that Ukraine can obtain the necessary equipment.

But the US says that there are no opportunities today, but at this time they are transferring such systems, for example, to Israel.
