Ukraine news latest — Desperate Putin to place nukes on ‘Nato border’ as Russia faces ‘heavy losses’ in fresh blow

VLADIMIR Putin is set to place tactical nuclear missiles on the western border of Belarus, which connects to three Nato countries. This comes after Putin’s lackey and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko confirmed the Kremlin’s plan to station Nukes within the country on Friday. Now, Russian ambassador Boris Gryzlov has confirmed the missiles will be placed along Belarus’ 1,250-kilometre border which connects to Nato states Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. The weapons will be “moved up close to the western border of our union state” Gryzlov said, reports AP. “It will expand our defence capability, and it will be done regardless of all the noise in Europe and the United States.” This comes as the UK’s Ministry of Defence confirmed Russia is facing fresh humiliation as an “extremely high” number of its 200,000 losses have come from “non-combat” incidents including crime and alcohol consumption.
