Lukashenko Warns of Nuclear Response Amid Border Tensions

Immediate Nuclear Action Threatened Belarusian President Aleksander Lukashenko has issued a stark warning regarding potential border incursions by Ukrainian forces. He asserted that Belarus would resort to nuclear weapons without hesitation if the borders of the Union State, which includes Russia and Belarus, are breached. Lukashenko made these remarks during an interview with the Russian TV channel Rossiya, emphasizing the immediacy and seriousness of Belarus’ potential response.

This is not the first time Lukashenko has threatened to use nuclear weapons. In July, as tensions escalated along Belarus’ northern border with Ukraine, he made similar statements, vowing to prevent any clashes at the border and protect Belarusian territory at all costs.

Despite his harsh rhetoric, Lukashenko also called for an end to the ongoing conflict. He urged for peace talks, arguing that the war serves no purpose for the people of Ukraine, Russia, or Belarus. He placed blame on the Biden administration whom he accused of wanting to prolong the conflict.
