Quote: "You know, the main proponent of the use of nuclear weapons… Can you guess who it is? I will tell you. It is Poland. They are provoking you, the USA, to make some moves towards using nuclear weapons. Do not buy into this trick. You are a huge, hi-tech state – don’t dance to the tune of deranged politicians."

Details: Lukashenko added that nuclear weapons must remain in storage.

"Because if, say, Poland is supplied with nuclear weapons – there will be a chain reaction. The other side will take measures. So don’t do it. What needs to be done is to calm down and negotiate," said the self-proclaimed President of Belarus.
