“We know that the Polish leadership is already rubbing their hands in anticipation,” he stated.

Lukashenko stressed that the state border of Belarus is a “red line.”

“If we use nuclear weapons, we may be retaliated against. Russia in particular. Therefore Russia will use its full arsenal, and this could lead to a world war. The West doesn’t want that and isn’t ready for it. But we are clear: the red line is the state border. If they cross it, our response will be immediate. We are preparing for this,” he said.

• Ukrainian diplomat Valeriy Chaly named the reasons why Russia will not use nuclear weapons in the war against Ukraine.
