And suggested deploying the missiles in Belarus.

Aliaksandr Lukashenka commented on the use of the Oreshnik missile system against Ukraine and praised the weapon.

He said this in Astana on the sidelines of the CSTO summit, BelTA reports.

Lukashenka was asked whether the demonstration of the Oreshnik should cool down those who “brought the world to the brink of a third world war.”

“The weapon is good. Not a nuclear weapon, but comparable in power to a nuclear weapon. But without penetrating radiation, without contamination of the area and objects,” Lukashenka said.

Judging by his words, he wants to deploy the Oreshnik in Belarus.

“I joked to my older brother (referring to Vladimir Putin), I said: 'The deployment sites are ready. When?', 'We’ll think about it' (Vladimir Putin replied)."

Lukashenka practically repeated the words of Vladimir Putin, who today, November 28, stated that a strike by several Oreshnik missiles would be comparable to the use of nuclear weapons.
