Russia and Belarus are ready to repel any threat, "regardless of its nature and scope." This is what Russian Ambassador to Belarus Boris Gryzlov said in an interview with National Defense magazine. According to him, aggressive actions against the state of the Union will result in a "severe and decisive response". Gryzlov also recalled that Russian tactical nuclear weapons are stationed in Belarus. At the same time, the diplomat emphasized that Moscow and Minsk are ready to restore relations with European countries. "But in this matter the ball is in their court. We didn't freeze this relationship."
