Repair work on Belarusian missile storage and launch facilities capable of carrying nuclear warheads is nearing completion, raising nuclear threat concerns. On June 21, 2025, U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Keith Kellogg met with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in Minsk and warned him of the seriousness of the issue, calling it unacceptable under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Roman Bezsmertnyi, Ukraine’s former ambassador to Belarus, emphasized that while the U.S. opposes Iran’s nuclear ambitions, it also opposes nuclear weapons appearing in Belarus, situated near Central European nations. The meeting and subsequent warnings underscore concerns about Belarus becoming a nuclear threshold state and its implications amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
