The Kremlin Tuesday denied allegations that Russia is planning to transfer nuclear missiles to neighbouring Belarus.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists that President Putin did not talk during his meeting with his Belarusian counterpart about transferring nuclear missiles to Minsk but, rather, about military complexes technically capable of carrying Russian weapons.

The leaders of the G7 industrialised countries expressed, in a press statement, on Monday, their concern over the transfer of Russian missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads to Belarus.
