Last update: 11 hours agoNuclear Drills Escalate: Belarus has started scheduled joint training with Russia on the combat use of nuclear weapons and “nuclear support,” including practicing delivery and preparation of warheads and testing readiness to operate from dispersed, unprepared areas—Minsk insists it’s routine and not aimed at any country. Ukraine Pushes Back: Ukraine’s MFA calls the drills a direct NPT violation and warns Minsk is becoming a “nuclear bridgehead” near NATO. Diplomatic Friction: The Kremlin dismissed Zelensky’s claims that Russia may attack from Belarus, saying it’s meant to inflame tensions. Sports Signal Softening: In a separate shift, the International Gymnastics Federation lifted restrictions on Russian and Belarusian athletes, allowing them to compete under national flags and anthems (Olympics still needs IOC permission). Economy: Belarus GDP rose 0.2% in Jan–April 2026. Border Smuggling: Estonia found a Belarus-linked balloon carrying contraband cigarettes near Lake Peipus.
