International Desk: Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus, said that the world is on the brink of a nuclear war due to the rate at which NATO is supporting Kiev. The reality of World War III is hidden in the fear of Russian defeat. He insisted that Russia would use nuclear weapons if it feared defeat in Ukraine. He said this in a televised address to Belarusian lawmakers and citizens on Friday.
An angry Lukashenko said in his speech that a full-scale war has started in Ukraine because of the US and its allies. This means that World War III with a nuclear conflagration is looming on the horizon. This statement by Lukashenko, a staunch ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is being taken seriously by many.
International analysts believe that this is Putin’s advance message through Lukashenko. In the speech, Lukashenko warned that if Putin fears that his forces are about to be defeated by Ukraine, he will be forced to open up his nuclear arsenal. Nuclear power is impossible to defeat. If the Russian leadership realizes that the situation may lead to Russia’s isolation, they will use the most formidable weapons.
He said the West is building up its military in Poland on the border with Belarus and is planning to attack and destroy us.
Call for ceasefire: Lukashenko calls for a “ceasefire” in Ukraine and talks between Moscow and Kiev without preconditions.
He said, “We have to stop now, before a tsunami starts.” I would venture to suggest a cessation of hostilities.
Lukashenko, who has been in power since 1994, added that all regional, restructuring, security, and other issues can and should be settled at the negotiating table.
Tells people to be prepared: Meanwhile, RT News reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin has told the people of his country to be prepared for nuclear war. Meanwhile, Russian leaders and commentators have begun talking about using nuclear weapons. Perhaps trying to prepare the Russian public for the possible use of their nuclear weapons. Putin has ordered a significant strengthening of air defenses around Moscow.
Target Key London: The Ukraine war has turned into a resource game. Both Russia and the Western world (the US and NATO) are concerned about the reckless consumption of resources. But only one side appears to be scrambling for nuclear weapons. Russia is witnessing a shake-up that could destroy Europe. If Russia really did launch a nuke at 1,000 feet, significant parts of Britain would be wiped out.
Experts say Putin’s Poseidon nukes could destroy a coastal city and kill millions in cities like London. Vladimir Putin has announced that he will deploy nuclear-tipped Iskander missiles from Belarus that could go beyond the possibility of Armageddon. The Iskander is a short-range ballistic missile capable of destroying mainland Poland and Ukraine. Just as Britain decided to help the Challenger tanks in Ukraine with anti-tank depleted uranium ammunition, many fear that an Iskander or a heavier missile could be launched into London at any moment.
Fear is growing in Europe: Although the main player in the Ukraine war is the United States, fear is growing in Europe. They may pay more for nuclear war. If the war were to get out of Russia’s control, the consequences for Europe would be disastrous.
Stephen Brien, a senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy and the Yorktown Institute, said on Twitter that Russia’s military has already begun exercises with its Yars intercontinental ballistic missile launcher in Siberia. Russia has even stopped sharing information on nuclear weapons with the US under the New START treaty.
The United States said on Tuesday it would also stop providing Moscow with detailed information on its nuclear weapons stockpile in response to Russia’s suspension of participation in the New START treaty.
A key component of the New START agreement was the biannual exchange of information between Russia and the United States on matters such as their number of nuclear warheads and the number of nuclear-capable bombers at specific bases.
Rehearsals begin: Russia’s Defense Ministry said on Wednesday that it had begun rehearsing the country’s intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launchers, considered the backbone of Russia’s strategic missile force. They are deployed across three regions of Siberia. The exercise involves surveillance by foreign satellites and other intelligence agencies. The Ministry of Defense did not specify how long the drills would last or what practice launches would be carried out. These ICBMs can hit targets at a distance of about 11,000 kilometers. A Defense Ministry video showed trucks carrying missiles on a drill at a base, and about 300 vehicles and 3,000 soldiers from eastern Siberia took part in the exercise.
Russia has a large stockpile of so-called strategic nuclear weapons that can be launched from land, air, and sea. Although there are no signs of readiness to launch them yet, nuclear warheads have begun to move. The planned Iskander missile deployment in Belarus will paint that picture.
US citizens ordered to leave Russia: Meanwhile, the US government has called upon US citizens staying in Russia to leave soon. This call was given by the US Embassy yesterday.
