Moscow said Thursday that it would be moving forward with the first deployment of nuclear weapons since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Biden responded on Friday saying he had an “extremely negative” response to reports that Russia has pushed forward with the plan to deploy nukes in Belarus while the U.S. State Department also denounced the plan.
