Alexandr Lukashenko stated that his country is preparing for war. According to his statement, “there can be no time of peace”.
“People need to understand this. We are absolutely against war, especially our officers, soldiers, armed forces. We know what war means and we do not want it. But the army is predestined for this. In case someone will want to talk or look at us through the sight of a weapon, we will respond. We prepare for this,” declared Lukashenko.
Recently, the official issued a direct warning to Western countries and Ukraine, suggesting that Belarus could use the Russian “Oreshnik” missile system, which has nuclear capability, in the event of attacks on its territory, cotidianul.md. According to Lukashenko, the missiles can reach Warsaw, Vilnius or Kiev.
The statement was made after Vladimir Zelenski announced that, due to the relocation of weapons in Belarus, the country could become a legitimate target for NATO.
