Putin and Lukashenko threaten NATO with “military countermeasures” and nuclear war

This is how the two dictators responded to the proposal of Ukraine and the United States for a 30-day truce.

Following the 30-day truce proposed by Ukraine and the US, Russia and Belarus published a joint statement following the meeting of the two dictators. In the document, they complained about the allegedly confrontational policies of NATO and the EU and, just in case, once again threatened the world with nuclear war. The text of the statement was published on the Kremlin website .

In particular, Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko accused NATO of “destabilizing actions” that “provoke the most serious strategic risks.” For example, the two dictators believe that NATO is taking “hostile steps in the context of the Ukrainian crisis, fraught with direct armed conflict between nuclear powers.”

Moscow and Minsk also consider the European Union’s policy towards Russia and Belarus to be “aggressively confrontational”, namely the sanctions imposed against these countries.

Putin and Lukashenko promised “if necessary” to take “countermeasures of a political-diplomatic, military and military-technical nature” to these NATO actions.

Speaking to the press later, Alexander Lukashenko said that he and Putin discussed the war in Ukraine and “will work on it today and tomorrow.”

He also noted that it is necessary to “trust the facts.” “This is the most important thing. And all these statements and all these promises are empty words,” Lukashenko said.
