MINSK, May 7. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko stated that tactical nuclear weapons are weapons of deterrence and defense; no one will go on the offensive with them. His words are quoted by the Telegram channel “Pool of the First.”
““This is a weapon of deterrence. This is a weapon of defense. No one will go on the offensive with these weapons,” Lukashenko said on Tuesday in Minsk at a solemn meeting on the occasion of Victory Day.< Lukashenko also noted that the expansion of military blocs and alliances to the detriment of the security of other countries, as well as the unprecedented build-up of NATO potential in our region, is heating up the situation. “All this is already at the western and southern borders of our Belarus. From individual figures we hear talk about war and nuclear strikes,” the president emphasized.
“We are not going to succumb to provocations. We are not going to fight with anyone “Throwing people into the crucible of war is not for me. Our task is that if the enemy’s boot steps on our soil again, we must inflict unacceptable damage on the enemy,” Lukashenko added.
