Lukashenko announced that several dozen nuclear warheads have been brought into Belarus.
An unknown number of nuclear warheads have been brought into Belarus. The Russian "Oreshnik" missile system may also be deployed in Belarus.
This was stated by the self-proclaimed president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, as reported by RBK-Ukraine citing ASTRA.
"I have brought nuclear warheads here. Not just a few. Many are saying, 'Oh, that's a joke, no one has brought anything in.' But they have been brought in. And the fact that they say it's a joke means they missed it. They didn't even notice how we brought them here," Lukashenko declared.
At the same time, Lukashenko stated that he plans to deploy the "Oreshnik" missile system in Belarus. Currently, a suitable testing ground is being sought.
"We will deploy and target them. My condition to Putin was simple: 'We will determine the targets in Belarus, not the Russians. But you will help operate it.' So we will jointly press the button, God forbid if needed. But we will determine the targets," Lukashenko said.
Deployment of "Oreshnik" in Belarus
It should be noted that on November 21, the Russian army launched a missile strike on Dnipro. The Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Russians fired an intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine for the first time.
Later, the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin stated that the RF Armed Forces conducted a test launch of the medium-range missile system "Oreshnik." Meanwhile, the GUR clarified that the new missile was launched from the "Kedr" missile system.
