Russia Not to Join Ultimatums in Tackling Nonproliferation - Putin Created: 27.06.2006 14:32 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 14:33 MSK MosNews Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia would not endorse ultimatums in tackling nonproliferation problems, the Interfax news agency reported Tuesday. "I repeat again: we do not intend to join all sorts of ultimatums, which only drive the situation into an impasse and deal a blow to the UN Security Council's authority," Putin told a meeting of Russian ambassadors in Moscow. The Russian leader went on to say that he was sure that any crisis should be solved by starting dialogues between opponents and not by isolation of any state. Putin said that such an approach not only gave hope but already provided for some positive shift as it had been proved by the course of events. In the field of nonproliferation we consider effective the work in the diplomatic and political field and also the search for compromises based on the international law. If there are some blank pages in the law, it must be perfected in cooperation with our partners, Putin said.

Belarus to Respond to Threat From West by Russian Nuclear Weapons Created: 26.06.2006 17:38 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 17:44 MSK MosNews Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko on Saturday vowed a military buildup in response to what he said was a threat from the West, and said the deployment of Russian nuclear weapons could not be ruled out, Associated Press news agency reports. Lukashenko said in comments broadcast on state television that, in his view, Belarus did not need strategic weapons on its territory. "I don't think there will be a situation that would require the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons," he said during military exercises between Russian and Belarussian forces - the largest ever for the two countries. However, he qualified his remarks by saying: "If a threat to security existed, there is no need to rule anything out." Russia's Defense Ministry declined comment on Lukashenko's comments. In an apparent desire to downplay relations with Belarus, President Vladimir Putin declined an invitation to attend exercises Saturday involving warplanes, combat helicopters and tanks.
