Russian tactical nuclear weapons are aimed at the territory of Belarus to strategic deterrence of Western countries, said the State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus, Alexander Volfovich.

“What is happening today on the territory of adjacent countries, on the territory primarily Poland – up to 4% of GDP is assigned to the needs of defense to the detriment of the economy, to the detriment of the interests of ordinary citizens., by and large, an offensive group is created, this is evident In order to cool these heads, Belarus, of course, can go in the same way and overpricing the economy into military needs, begin to increase and expand the armed forces to the number of wartime, but this will fall a huge burden on the economy, the welfare of citizens, the population of Belarus. Why do this? People are used to living in comfort, civilized, beautifully. So, one of the elements, let’s say, a military -plan, of course, is a tactical nuclear weapon, ”said the Secretary of State of the Council of People’s Commissars of Belarus in an interview with the GOSTELEKANAL ONT, Interfax reports “.

He emphasized that “the West simply did not leave Belarus another way out.” “Although, withdrawing nuclear weapons from Belarus in the 1990s, the West, primarily the United States of America, guaranteed security, the absence of any sanctions against Belarus. Today everything has been violated. All promises have collapsed today, as they say, in the fly. Therefore, the placement of tactical nuclear weapons in the territory of the Republic of Belarus is one of the steps of strategic restraint, ”Volfovich said.
