The Russia-Belarus Security Treaty was signed by the two sides in Minsk on December 6, 2024.

The Treaty provides that both parties will regard an armed attack on a member of the Union State as an act of aggression against the entire Union State and will take appropriate countermeasures using all available forces and means.

According to the agreement, Russian nuclear weapons can be used in response to a nuclear or conventional attack that threatens the sovereignty or territorial integrity of Russia or Belarus. To prevent such threats, Russian military facilities and troops can be deployed in Belarus./.
