Lithuania's President Gitanas Nauseda on Monday denounced Russia's 'nuclear blackmail.'
'Russian nuclear blackmail continues as [President Vladimir] Putin announces plans to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. Once again - complete disregard of international agreements,' Nauseda said on Twitter.
Russia 'must be stopped from causing a nuclear disaster,' he added.
Putin announced on Saturday that Russia will complete the construction of a special storage facility for tactical nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus, sparking fierce international criticism.
He said Moscow has already handed over Iskander missile systems, which can be used to launch nuclear weapons, to Belarus.
