Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has confirmed that nuclear weapons are present in Belarus. His comments came on Tuesday during a question-and-answer session with factory workers, BelTA news agency has reported.
βI have brought in nuclear warheads β more than just a few,β Lukashenko stated. He dismissed any skepticism, suggesting that those who doubt the presence of the weapons in the country βdidnβt even notice when we brought them in.β
Lukashenkoβs remarks were prompted by inquiries about the planned deployment of the Russian Oreshnik missile complex in Belarus. While the Oreshnik system itself is not classified as nuclear, it possesses significant firepower.
