BELARUS has deployed on its bases the same nuclear weapons that the USA keeps in European countries, said the President of the Republic Alexander Lukashenko at the session of the Belarusian National Assembly.
According to the head of state, American nuclear weapons are stored in air bases in Belgium, Germany, Italy, Turkey and the Netherlands.
– Tactical (nuclear weapon) – in military terminology, it is an offensive weapon. Offensive components are not defensive. Then why are they angry with us? Why were they so outraged when we deployed similar weapons in functionality to our bases? Lukashenko asked.
He believes that it is unlikely that the weapon will be used, otherwise the planet would disappear.
– But they want to live and manage the planet as before. That’s why it’s tactical – the president added.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in March last year that Moscow and Minsk had agreed to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus without violating international obligations. At the end of the year, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced that all warheads had been delivered and were “in their places”.
