According to RIA Novosti on January 30, former director of the Israeli intelligence agency Nativ, political scientist Ykov Kedmi, said in an interview with Belta news agency that the deployment of just one of Russia's newest Oreshnik complexes in Belarus could bring long-term "calm" to Poland.
"The mere fact that Belarus has received a Russian Oreshnik missile system is enough to keep Poland 'quiet and calm' forever, along with its allies," political scientist Ykov Kedmi commented.
According to Kedmi, Belarus has never taken any negative actions towards its neighbors. However, unlike other countries, Poland is escalating the situation in every way possible.
Kedmi added: “Poland has only one problem: it is trying to find something similar to what Belarus has, which is to find a missile system like the Oreshnik.”
At the end of 2024, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko requested that President Vladimir Putin deploy the latest Russian weapons, including the Oreshnik medium-range missile system, on Belarusian territory. The Russian leader responded that he believed Oreshnik could be deployed in the republic by the second half of 2025.
Recently, President Lukashenko stated that the latest Oreshnik missiles will be delivered to Belarus from Russia "literally any day."
