Former Soviet republic giving up nuclear materials
Fact Check:
1) Belarus in 1994 gave up the nuclear weapons it inherited in the breakup of the Soviet Union, but it retained its highly enriched uranium stocks.
2) Belarus will transfer 485.01 pounds (220 kilograms) of highly enriched uranium to Russia.
3) In July, Clinton cited Belarus as among countries across the globe where a "steel vise" of suppression is "slowly crushing civil society and the human spirit."
Questions:
1) Why are they waiting until 2012 to give up the nuclear materials.
2) Was this decision made possibly to lead other countries to do the same?
