Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has confirmed the presence of nuclear weapons in Belarus.
Speaking to the media, the veteran leader said that several dozen nuclear warheads have already been brought into the country.
Furthermore, he stressed the use of nuclear weapons implies ‘great responsibility,’ given the experience of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, because after the bombing of Japanese cities no one else used such weapons.
While meeting with employees of the POZHSNAB enterprise in Borisov, Lukashenko also said the issue of deploying the Russian Oreshnik missile system in his country is already under consideration.
“The Belarusian side is thinking about which sites the Oreshnik can be installed on. There are about 30 potential sites in the republic,” he added.
