The Office of the President responded to Lukashenko's nuclear threats
The Belarusian dictator said that the country had started receiving Russian tactical nuclear weapons from the Russian Federation.
Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Office of the President, believes that the statements of the self-proclaimed president of Belarus about the powerful nuclear weapons, which are allegedly now on the territory of Belarus, are more like an anecdote. The OP representative said this in an interview with "Channel 24.
Lukashenko is not only not a subject of the global politics today, he is not even a subject of the war in Ukraine. Lukashenko is the strange "twin brother" of Medvedev, who is supposed to perform the function of a "clown VIP-agitation train". No more, but no less," said Podolyak.
He stressed that Lukashenko is far from understanding the possibility of nuclear weapons, so he is trying to intimidate the world with his statements.
According to Podolyak, Lukashenko's goal is to give Russia an opportunity to allegedly influence the general course of the war.
That is, to fill the information field with anything else but negativity towards Russia. Lukashenko is bragging and wants to intimidate," says the OP's advisor.
Earlier Lukashenko announced that Russia had started transferring nuclear weapons to the territory of the neighboring republic. According to him, the nuclear weapons received from Putin are three times more powerful than the atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
Lukashenko also said that he had allegedly asked Putin to give him such weapons so that "not a single bastard would set foot in Belarus".
