The sites for the placement of Topol strategic missile systems will be restored, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said on March 31 during a message to the people and the National Assembly.
According to Lukashenka, a week ago he ordered the immediate restoration of the sites where Topol mobile missile systems with nuclear warheads were deployed.
He noted that after the collapse of the USSR and the withdrawal of nuclear weapons from Belarus, these sites had to be destroyed. “I kept all these sites. That’s where all this dictatorship came from: Lukashenka is such and such. I didn’t blow them up on your orders.– said the President of Belarus. He emphasized that “under various pretexts” evaded this action, although one such site in Belarus was blown up at the request of Russian President Boris Yeltsin.
“And I must say: it will be necessary for Putin and I to decide and introduce strategic weapons here if necessary. And this must be understood by the bastards out there, who today are trying to blow us up inside and out”.– said Alexander Lukashenko.
He stressed that Russia and Belarus “will stop at nothing”protect “their countries, their states and their peoples”.
It should be noted that on March 29, US President Joe Biden expressed concern about information about the deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons (TNW) on the territory of Belarus.
Recall that in 1990, according to some data, 1,120 nuclear warheads were located in the Byelorussian SSR. In 1996, when Belarus was led by Alexander Lukashenko, it still had 72 nuclear warheads, which were removed under the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program (the Senators Nunn-Lugar program). Alexander Lukashenko claimed that he was trying to prevent the final withdrawal of Russian nuclear weapons from the country.
