基辅——乌克兰正在其与白俄罗斯接壤的北部地区实施“强化安保措施”，与此同时俄罗斯正与其亲密盟友白俄罗斯举行联合核演习。莫斯科方面称已将“核弹药运送至野战储存设施”。
俄罗斯国家媒体援引俄国防部消息称，周四的演习期间试射了洲际弹道导弹，以及“锆石”和“匕首”型高超音速导弹，白俄罗斯军队则试射了俄制“伊斯坎德尔”导弹。上述所有型号导弹均可配备核弹头。
乌克兰此前数周一直警告称，俄罗斯的主要地区盟友白俄罗斯可能发起新一轮袭击，基辅方面随后宣布将加强北部边境的安保部署。2022年2月，俄罗斯曾以白俄罗斯为跳板发动针对乌克兰的全面入侵，基辅官员称莫斯科可能计划从北部发起新的攻势，包括直抵乌克兰首都。
乌克兰国家安全局（SBU）表示，其下属单位和陆军正在“我国北部地区开展一系列全面的强化安保措施”。
该局在一份声明中称，包括加强对人员和财产的检查与管控在内的这些措施，“将有效威慑敌人及其盟友的任何侵略行动或军事行动”。
克里姆林宫周一驳斥了乌克兰有关俄罗斯试图将白俄罗斯进一步拖入战争的指控，称这是“进一步煽动的企图”。
但周四俄罗斯国防部在一份声明中表示，在与白俄罗斯的“核力量演习”框架内，“核弹药已被运送至俄导弹旅阵地的野战储存设施”。

白俄罗斯国防部周四在社交媒体Telegram（链接：https://t.me/modmilby/55945）上发布的一则帖子似乎由俄罗斯国防部制作，内容显示一辆卡车在森林中行驶并卸下一件据称与核弹药相关的物品。
俄罗斯军方表示，部署在白俄罗斯的导弹旅正在开展接收机动式“伊斯坎德尔-M”战术导弹发射系统弹药的训练，包括将弹药装载到发射车上以及秘密机动以模拟发射的演练。

据《基辅独立报》报道，北约秘书长马克·吕特周三表示，北约正密切监视俄白联合演习，并警告北约对俄罗斯任何核攻击的回应将是“毁灭性的”。
这场战争已进入第五年，近几个月来战场态势基本没有重大变化。不过据多份报道称，乌克兰军队利用无人机作战技术，至少减缓了俄罗斯推进的速度。
《华尔街日报》本周发布的一篇报道称，乌克兰实际上“近几个月来已凭借战术和技术优势，将俄罗斯规模庞大的军队几乎拖入停滞”，但同时 cautioned 现在就宣称战争已进入“战略转折点”还为时过早。
Russia says “nuclear munitions,” missile tests part of military drills with Belarus, as Ukraine ups security

Kyiv— Ukraine is implementing “enhanced security measures in the northern regions” near its border with Belarus as Russia holds joint nuclear drills with its close ally, for which Moscow says “nuclear munitions were delivered” to field storage facilities.
Russian state media, citing the country’s defense ministry, said Thursday that test launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles and Zircon and Dagger type hypersonic missiles were carried out as part of the exercises, while Belarusian forces test launched Russian-made Iskander missiles. All of the missiles are types that can be equipped with nuclear warheads.
Kyiv announced its heightened security posture along its northern border after warning for weeks of a possible fresh attack coming from Belarus, Russia’s chief regional ally. Russia used Belarus as a springboard to launch its ongoing, full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and officials in Kyiv say Moscow could be planning to stage a new offensive from the north, including toward the Ukrainian capital.
Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) said its units and the army were “carrying out a comprehensive set of enhanced security measures in the northern regions of our country.”
The measures — including stepped up checks and controls of individuals and properties — “will serve as an effective deterrent to any aggressive actions or operations by the enemy and its ally,” the SBU said in a statement.
The Kremlin on Monday dismissed Ukrainian allegations that it wanted to drag Belarus further into the war as “an attempt at further incitement.”
But Thursday, Russia’s Defense Ministry said in a statement that, “as part of the nuclear forces exercise” with Belarus, “nuclear munitions were delivered to the field storage facilities of the [Russian] missile brigade’s position” in the country.

Russia’s military said the missile brigade in Belarus was carrying out training to receive munitions for mobile Iskander-M tactical missile launch systems, including exercises in loading munitions onto launch vehicles and moving them clandestinely in preparation for a hypothetical launch.

Speaking Wednesday, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said the alliance was monitoring the Russian-Belorussian exercises and warned that it’s reaction to any Russian nuclear attack would be “devastating,” according to the Kyiv Independent.
There has been little significant change in the trajectory of the war, now well into its fifth year, in recent months, though Ukrainian forces — taking advantage of drone warfare technology — have, according to multiple reports, managed to at least slow the rate of Russia’s encroachment.
A Wall Street Journal report published this week argued that Ukraine had in fact “wrestled Russia’s much-larger army almost to a halt in recent months, having gained a tactical and technological edge,” but it cautioned that it was too soon to declare the war had reached “a strategic turning point.”
