Lukashenko: Russian Oreshnik missile had strong impact on global community
Russia’s use of the new Oreshnik intermediate-range missile will cool the West, President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko told Russian journalists in Astana on the side-lines of the CSTO summit
Asked whether Russia’s use of the new Oreshnik intermediate-range missile would cool the West, the Head of State noted, “It has already cooled down. We can immediately see this from the statements in the media. It is true that there is no unified line in the West, everything has been going in different directions, which shows that they ae a little confused. The weapon is definitely good. It is not a nuclear weapon, but in terms of its power it is comparable to a nuclear weapon, but without penetrating radiation and contamination of terrain and facilities. That’s why it has had such a strong impact on the so-called global community and especially those who thought that everything would be all right. It won’t.”
Referring to the Union State security, the Belarusian leader added that he made a joke in his conversation with Vladimir Putin, “The places for deployment are ready. When?”
“We’ll think about it,” was the reply from the Russian leader.
