During this, everyone condemned the announcement of Russia's deployment of weapons in Belarus. The G7 group said that any kind of threat will not be accepted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">In the meeting, the G7 ministers also decided that along with imposing strict sanctions on Russia, other countries will also be asked to respond to it. For this, they will strengthen coordination. Everyone agreed on this.</span></p>
<p><br /><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;">Russia will deploy nuclear weapons in Belarus</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Significantly, it has been more than a year since the war between Russia and Ukraine started. At the moment its end is not visible. Meanwhile, many times warnings of nuclear attack have also been given from Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently announced that Russia's nuclear weapons would be deployed in Belarus, adjacent to Ukraine.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Referring to Europe, President Putin had said that in comparison to the US which has kept its nuclear weapons at many places in Europe, his move would not be a violation of nuclear disarmament agreements. However, he also said that Russia will not hand over the control of this weapon to Belarus.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Putin told Russian state television that Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has been saying for a long time that Russia should keep its nuclear weapons in Belarus as well. He said, 'There is nothing strange in this. America has been doing this for decades. It has been deploying strategically important weapons on the land of its allies.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;">What else did Putin say?</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Russian President Vladimir Putin had said that by July 1 this year, Russia will complete the work of a storage unit being built for the storage of Tactical Weapons in Belarus. He further added that Russia has already sent some of the Iskander missile systems needed to launch nuclear missiles to Belarus.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">This is the first time since the mid-1990s that Russia is deploying its nuclear weapons outside its country to a friendly country. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russian weapons were left in four newly independent countries – Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. The work of bringing all these weapons to Russia was completed by the year 1996.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;">What did America and Ukraine say?</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">America's statement has also come to the fore after Putin's announcement of deploying nuclear weapons in Belarus. The US has said that it is sure that Russia is not considering the use of nuclear weapons. The US Defense Ministry issued a statement saying, "We see no reason why we should not change our strategy regarding our strategically important weapons." The ministry further said, 'We are committed to the defense of the countries involved in the NATO military alliance.'</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;">18 countries extended help to Ukraine</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Let us inform that in the beginning of this week itself, 18 countries have extended their help to Ukraine. These countries have assured to supply at least one million artillery shells to Ukraine next year. Agreement has been signed for this. Ukraine's President Zelensky has recently given an interview to a Japanese newspaper. In this, he has said that Ukraine will not retaliate against Russia in the eastern part of the country until ammunition arrives from friendly countries.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;">Also know these things related to Russia-Ukraine war</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The Russian army has surrounded Bakhmut from three sides and is continuously attacking. The main city is completely ruined. However, the Ukrainian military is also responding strongly. This is the reason why despite all the efforts, Russia has not yet captured Bakhmut.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The Russian attack has killed two people in Bakhmut. Russian attacks have killed two people and wounded six in Kherson.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The Russian government has pardoned more than 5,000 former criminals who fought alongside Russian forces in the Ukraine war. This information was given by Yevgeny Prigogine, the founder of the Wagner Group.</span></p>
