Belarusian President gives reasons for deploying nuclear weapons
(Baonghean.vn) - The deployment of tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian territory is an appropriate response to the rapid militarization in Eastern Europe and increased military activity by the US and NATO, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko declared.
“In line with the consistent policy of supporting the maintenance of peace and security, and the fulfillment of previously agreed international obligations, the Republic of Belarus, together with its partners, as well as within the framework of the Union State of Belarus and Russia, is focusing maximum efforts on strengthening cooperation against transnational challenges and threats of various nature. The deployment of nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus is our appropriate response to the rapid militarization of Eastern Europe and the increased military activity of the United States and NATO,” Lukashenko was quoted as saying by the press service of the Belarusian leader at the conference.
President Lukashenko stressed that the deployment of nuclear weapons does not nullify the peace initiatives put forward by the Belarusian side to restart dialogue on European and global security on an equal basis for the benefit of the entire planet./.
