Lukashenko: there should be no place for nuclear blackmail in international politics
The President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, said this at a narrow-format session of the CSTO Collective Security Council in Yerevan, BelTA reports
The Head of State noted that a possibility of using nuclear weapons has been voiced increasingly often in recent times. “This could hardly be imagined two or three years ago. The nuclear rhetoric of certain Western leaders is off the scale. The Polish leadership declares its readiness to deploy nuclear weapons. It is good that there are sensible people among Americans – and we should do justice to them – who perfectly understand the dangers of nuclear games, especially with unpredictable partners," the President said.
"Our firm belief is that nuclear blackmail should have no place in international politics!" Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed, recalling the well-known thesis that there will be no winners in a nuclear war, “Great physicist Albert Einstein once said: ‘I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones’.”
