He noted that Belarus “is making every effort to strengthen cooperation in the fight against transnational challenges and threats of a different nature.” “By deploying tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian territory, we adequately respond to the accelerated militarization of Eastern Europe and the growth of US and NATO military activity,” Lukashenka stressed, Kommersant quotes.
