Belarus’ authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko says his country is hosting dozens of Russian nuclear weapons and will prepare facilities for the planned deployment of Moscow’s newest hypersonic ballistic missile.
Russia n President Vladimir Putin and Belarus ian President Alexander Lukashenko talk during a signing ceremony following a meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Russia - Belarus Union State marking the 25th anniversary of the Union State Treaty in Minsk, Belarus , Friday, Dec. 6, 2024.
“I have brought nuclear warheads here, and not just a single dozen of them,” Lukashenko said in an apparent reference to the tactical weapons, adding that the West failed to track their deployment.Earlier this year, Russian and Belarusian militaries held joint nuclear drills. They involved Belarus’ Russia-supplied Iskander short-range ballistic missiles that can be fitted with nuclear warheads and warplanes equipped to carry nuclear bombs.
“We will determine targets for them here in Belarus, not the Russians,” Lukashenko said Tuesday. “And we will push the button together if needed, God forbid.”
