Belarusian dictator Oleksandr Lukashenko has said that Russia will provide nuclear weapons to any state that joins the State Union of Russia and Belarus. Ukrainian Pravda. The statement appears to have been made earlier this week, as rumors that Lukashenko was in hospital began to appear on social media over the weekend.

• “If anyone is worried… I don’t think it’s Kasym Tokayev [președintele Kazahstanului – n.red.] worries about this, but if something suddenly happens, then no one will be upset if Kazakhstan and other countries that have such close relations as we have with the Russian Federation. It’s very simple. We need to join the Union of Belarus with Russia, and that’s it: nuclear weapons will be for everyone,” he said in an interview with propagandist Pavel Zarubin.

According to Lukashenka, these countries have a “unique chance to unite”.

The propagandist published the video on May 28, although it was probably filmed during the Eurasian Economic Union summit held in Moscow on May 25.

It should be noted that this video appeared after the Belarusian opponent Valery Tsepkalo, former ambassador to the USA, said that the leader of Minsk, Alexander Lukashenko, was hospitalized in a hospital in Moscow.

Russia and Belarus are officially part of the so-called State Union, an agreement aimed at deepening the integration of the two countries both politically and economically.

On May 25, in Minsk, Russian Defense Minister Serhiy Shoigu and his Belarusian colleague Viktor Khrenin signed documents regarding the placement of Russian non-strategic nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus.

At the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) summit in Moscow, Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev was extremely harsh in his criticism of the union and called the rapprochement between Russia and Belarus a serious problem.

In his speech, Tokayev stated that the principles of the EAEC, announced in the 2015 agreement, were violated. According to him, “Kazakhstan is absolutely committed to integration precisely on the basis of the 2015 agreement, that is, on the basis of the implementation of the four freedoms and basic principles, such as non-discriminatory access to infrastructure, fair competition, equality.” and consideration of national interests”.

However, these principles are being violated, Tokayev said:

• “I don’t think this is the right time or place to list the many acts of blocking and mutual restraint that happen regularly – still happen regularly. I am not a fan of dramatizing the situation, but the problems must be solved.”

In addition, this statement was made against the background of the emergence of signals that the West is preparing to send F-16 aircraft to Ukraine.

Russia has already started transferring nuclear weapons intended for use on the battlefield, Belarusian President Oleksandr Lukashenko said.

Moscow says the move is prompted by threats to its borders, which it has warned it will defend with all its might after the recent invasion of Belgorod.

On March 25, Russia’s president announced that Moscow would deploy “tactical” nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus, a country at the gates of the European Union, fueling fears of an escalating conflict in Ukraine.
