Media that Lukashenko told Russian and Belarusian state media, “We have received missiles and bombs from Russia,” adding, “The bombs are three times more powerful than those dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”
Media reported that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko proclaimed that Russia has begun delivering nuclear weapons to Belarus, including some reportedly three times more powerful than those detonated over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
This is the first time Russia has transferred tactical nuclear warheads since beginning its invasion of Ukraine last year. The arrival of the weaponry occurs one week after Ukrainian forces launched a massive counteroffensive against Russia. According to media, Lukashenko argues that the weapons will function only as a deterrent.
