Belarusian Foreign Ministry stated that deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons on its territory complies with international law and does not violate the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) articles I and II.

Military cooperation between Belarus and Russia is carried out in strict accordance with international law. The training of Belarusian pilots capable of flying aircraft with specific munitions, the modernisation of such aircraft, as well as the deployment of nuclear warheads on the territory of Belarus without transferring control over them to Minsk, as well as access to relevant technologies, in no way contradict the provisions of Articles I and II of the NPT.

Belarus claimed it had agreed to the deployment of Russian nuclear weapons on its territory to strengthen its own security and defense capabilities.

Belarus' Foreign Ministry said on March 28 it didn't consider Russia's plans a violation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

China does not approve of Russia’s intention to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry referenced a January 5 joint statement by nuclear-weapon states saying it is impossible to win or wage a nuclear war.
