Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has made a troubling statement that his country has received Russian nuclear weapons, and he wouldn’t hesitate to use them if provoked. He told Russian state media that they’ve received missiles and bombs gradually, but they have all the necessary weaponry. Lukashenko clarified his statement about having “no hesitation” to use the weapons, noting that he would first consult with Putin. If a war starts, he would pick up the phone, and wherever Putin is, he picks it up. It’s no problem coordinating launching a strike since everything is ready for deployment.
This announcement is concerning as Ukraine appears to have finally launched its long-awaited counteroffensive against Russian forces in the continuing 16-month war. This move by Belarus also coincides with the largest aerial war games by Kyiv’s NATO allies, showcasing their collective strength in dealing with possible threats. It remains to be seen how this development will affect the delicate balance of power in the region and whether it will lead to further tensions.
