Lukashenko: The world is unstable, and we must not miss a blow, as it was in the middle of the last century

The world is unstable, and Belarus and Russia should not miss a blow, as it was in the middle of the last century. This was stated by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko to journalists after talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, BelTA informs.

While answering journalists' questions, the President of Belarus commented on the topic of joint exercises on the use of non-strategic nuclear weapons. He emphasized that Belarus has no desire to attack anyone, but it should be able to defend itself and use the means at hand.

"I honestly admitted that this is our third training session since the deployment of nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus. The Russians probably have dozens of such trainings. It's nothing surprising. We are doing everything that they (Western countries - Ed.) did before us and are doing now," the President pointed out.

"We are not doing anything special. We are preparing, practicing. We have to be ready. The world is unstable, dangerous. We must not miss this blow, as it was in the middle of the last century. We're not going to let that happen, they need to know that. But we are not escalating the situation: we do not need war. We spoke today only about peaceful prospects. But we keep the powder dry - nothing special," emphasized Alexander Lukashenko.
