Belarus President: We will use nuclear weapons if there is an attack on our borders.

The tension between the Western alliance led by the USA and Russia is escalating day by day due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. While the parties continue to impose sanctions on each other, new threats are being added every day. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko once again pointed to nuclear weapons, stating that they would use nuclear weapons if Belarus is attacked from the western borders.

Lukashenko explained in a meeting with university students in Minsk under what circumstances they could use nuclear weapons to protect Belarus and Russia. Reminding that an attack on Belarus could trigger a Third World War, Lukashenko stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin also confirmed this by explaining the "nuclear doctrine change" that allows the use of nuclear weapons in the event of an attack on Russia and his country.

"WE WILL USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS"

Lukashenko noted that US and Polish soldiers, as NATO forces, are stationed along Belarus's western borders, saying, "We will use nuclear weapons the moment they attack us. They can respond to us." He also mentioned that an attack would be made against Russia in such a case, stating, "Thus, Russia will also use its entire arsenal. This means a world war. The West does not want this. They are not ready for it, but we clearly state that our red line is our state borders. If they step over, the response will be immediate. We are preparing for this. I speak honestly and openly about this."

RUSSIA HAD ALSO ANNOUNCED ITS INTENT TO USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS

Russian President Vladimir Putin, the day before yesterday, discussed the "nuclear deterrence" issue in a meeting with Security Council members, addressing the "updating of the foundations of state policy in the field of nuclear deterrence." In this context, Putin stated that they would consider an attack on Russia by a state without nuclear power, with the participation and support of a nuclear-armed state, as a joint attack. Putin said, "We reserve the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of an attack on Russia and Belarus. The fact that an enemy using conventional weapons poses a critical threat to our sovereignty is also included in this."
