Lukashenko: Europe Plays with Nuclear Fire

European countries, including our neighbours, are pursuing an unprecedented increase in military spending. They are continuously expanding the scale and number of military exercises and have openly begun speculating on the idea of a 'European nuclear shield'.

Lukashenko: 'Given the repeatedly stated aggressive plans of certain European states and their leaders, it is not a shield we should talk about today. Rather, it is a sword in the hands of thoughtless politicians. But they must understand: this sword is double-edged.

In times of war, unity of all armed forces and the entire state is essential. We must be prepared for the most negative scenarios. And these scenarios have already been calculated and are known to us.'
