Intelligence Online has the details of DGSE director Bernard Emié's 24 March trip to Minsk, during which the French intelligence service attempted to act as a mediator with Alexander Lukashenko. Vladimir Putin confirmed the next day that Belarus had agreed to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on its soil, though a week later Lukashenko called for a truce between Moscow and Kyiv.
