Belarus' Lukashenko Warns of Nuclear Response to NATO Attack, 'NOT Bluffing'
Sep 27, 2024, 10:21 AM
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has declared that nuclear weapons will be used if NATO attacks Belarus. This statement was reported by BelTA and aligns with earlier remarks by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who stated that Belarus is part of Russia’s 'nuclear shield' and that non-nuclear states could be targeted with nuclear weapons if there is an existential threat to Russia or Belarus. Lukashenko emphasized that such an attack would signify the beginning of a third world war. He also mentioned that Russia would assist Belarus in this scenario. Lukashenko stressed that he is 'NOT bluffing' about the use of nuclear weapons.
