President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that he raised the issue of deploying nuclear weapons in the country at a meeting with Vladimir Putin because of a similar request from Poland to the United States.
According to BelTA, Lukashenka and Putin agreed that their states should be ready to respond within 24 hours in the event of the appearance of nuclear weapons in Poland.
“I have the right to ask and demand from the president of fraternal Russia to make them afraid to cross the state border of the Republic of Belarus,” Lukashenka explained.
At the same time, he stressed that the very discussion of the deployment of nuclear weapons is not “blackmail or a threat.”
Earlier, the Belarusian leader claimed that his country was “trying to be drawn into the conflict in Ukraine,” and allowed the deployment of nuclear weapons in the republic.
Recall that at the talks with the President of the Russian Federation on June 25, Lukashenka asked him to “help adapt” Belarusian aircraft to the transfer of nuclear charges. In response, Putin promised to transfer Iskander-M missile systems to Minsk.
