Saint-Petersburg. June 25. INTERFAX - President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko has asked his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to help re-equip Belarusian military aircraft so that they can carry nuclear warheads.
At a meeting with Putin, Lukashenko admitted that he was "very concerned about the issues of training flights of US and NATO aircraft that are preparing to carry nuclear warheads and nuclear charges.
"This is very annoying for us," he stressed.
"I ask you to consider the question of a mirror answer to these things. Without overkill. They are training to carry nuclear warheads - please help us at least to adapt the planes that we have that can carry nuclear charges," he said in this regard.
Lukashenko stressed: "I'm not saying that you will transport nuclear ammunition there tomorrow, but we can't joke, we remember 1941, when we were lulled to sleep that everything would be fine, everything would be quiet, no one would attack, and then (we - IF) were not ready for this situation."
"I raise the question of how we can be ready for everything, even for the use of the most serious weapons, to protect our fatherland from Brest to Vladivostok," he added.
