Belarus has no nukes, drills with Russia target Suwałki – Ukraine
May 26, Pozirk. There are currently no nuclear weapons in Belarus, said Oleh Ivashchenko, head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine (FISU).

He said that Kyiv has “all the necessary information” on the upcoming Belarusian-Russian Zapad-2025 drill.
“According to the plan of the exercise, an operational episode of the confrontation between two coalitions will be played out,” he said. “One is led by Russia and the other by the countries that support Ukraine—our European partners.”
The FISU head pointed out that the synopsis of every Russian-Belarusian drill provides for capturing the Suwałki Gap between Lithuania and Poland. “These are not fantasies but part of their strategic scenarios,” he emphasized.
However, the Belarusian army is incapable of massive combat operations today, he added.
