Russia claims to have moved nuclear-capable missile system into Belarus

Assertion comes after the Kremlin accused Ukraine of attacking Vladimir Putin’s palace in Novgorod

• Did Ukraine target Putin’s residence or is Russian claim a ploy to sway Trump?

Russia said its latest nuclear-capable missile system has been deployed in Belarus, a day after Moscow claimed that Ukraine had carried out a large-scale drone attack on Vladimir Putin’s residence.

Footage released by Russia’s ministry of defence showed the new Oreshnik missile trundling through a snowy forest. Soldiers were seen disguising combat vehicles with green netting and raising a flag at an airbase in eastern Belarus, close to the Russian border.
