Belarus Receives Nuclear Weapons From Russia

Belarus has started receiving deliveries of Russian tactical nuclear weapons, some of which are “three times more powerful than those dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki,” Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko announced on June 14.

Lukashenko’s announcement on Russian state tv channel Rossiya-1 confirmed that Belarus has a number of Soviet-era nuclear storage facilities and has restored five or six of them for the Russian weapons. It will be the first deployment of Russian nuclear weapons outside the country since the fall of the Soviet Union.

The nuclear weapons will act as a deterrent against potential aggressors, as Belarus has “always been a target” for the West, Lukashenko said. The West has “wanted to tear us to pieces since 2020. No one has so far fought against … a country that has nuclear weapons,” he added.

The development follows just three weeks after Russia and Belarus signed a deal allowing Moscow to deploy its tactical nuclear weapons on Belarussian territory. As part of the deal, Russia will retain control of the weapons.

Prophesied nuclear war: In Matthew 24, Jesus Christ warned that mankind would become capable of completely annihilating itself, to the point that “no flesh should be saved” if God didn’t intervene (verse 22). In his booklet Nuclear Armageddon Is ‘At the Door,’ Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry writes:

Many nations have weapons of mass destruction—including nuclear bombs. The Prophet Daniel called this “the time of the end” …. How many Christian leaders do you hear even discuss Matthew 24? It is the most important prophetic message Christ gave when He was on this Earth!

This prophecy is terrifying, but there is tremendous hope tied to it. To learn more, order our free booklet Nuclear Armageddon Is ‘At the Door.’
