 Belarus is ready to use nuclear weapons. There will be no hesitation in using nuclear weapons in case of aggression against Belarus. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said this, answering the questions of journalists during his working trip to Minsk region by Eiter Informs. Speaking about the reasons for the deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, the president said, what is it for? So that not a single foot of some bastards would step on the Belarusian land. And according to him, there can only be one reason for using such weapons, aggression against Belarus. And the answer will be immediate. I've already said it several times beforehand, added the Belarusian leader. While underlining the considerable power of the nuclear weapons to be placed in Belarus, the president said, I think that no one would want to fight with a country that has such weapons. This is a weapon of deterrence. However, we would like to avoid situations where it would have to be used, of course. God forbid I should have to make a decision to use these weapons in modern times. But there will be no hesitation if there is aggression against us. Stressed Alexander Lukashenko. Lukashenko emphasized that it was he who had asked Putin to deploy Russian nuclear weapons to Belarus. He argued that the move was necessary to deter a potential aggression.
