Belarus started receiving nuclear weapons from Russia, - Lukashenko
Alexander Lukashenko, who has seized power in Belarus, has announced that his country has begun receiving nuclear weapons from Russia. Some of them are three times more powerful than the bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to Reuters.
"We have missiles and bombs that we received from Russia," Lukashenko said in an interview with Russian propagandists from Russia-1 TV channel.
"The bombs are three times more powerful than those dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki," he said.
Lukashenka added that Belarus has many nuclear storage facilities left over from the Soviet era, and 5 or 6 of them have now been restored.
He denied that Russia's arms control was an obstacle to its rapid use if he felt such a move was necessary, saying that he and Putin could call each other "at any time".
Lukashenka repeated his accusations against Western countries of allegedly trying to overthrow him during mass protests after the 2020 presidential election.
"We have always been a target. They (the West - Ed.) have always wanted to tear us apart, since 2020. No one has ever fought against a nuclear country, a country with nuclear weapons," he said.
