Lukashenko threatens the world with Russian Oreshnik missile
The Belarusian dictator called the Oreshnik ballistic missile a “terrible weapon.”
In December, he will go on combat duty. Why? I want them (opponents abroad — ed.) to understand that we can go crazy if things go badly. Here we will sit down with Putin, make a decision and go crazy. So don't rush in. After all, the war in Ukraine began with this. In Donbas, Russian-speakers were oppressed, killed, and harassed. I saw it before my eyes.
He cynically recalled that peaceful agreements were once reached at the Minsk site, but the opponents allegedly decided to act through deception, which led to the current situation.
It turns out they didn't agree. It turns out they came to Minsk to deceive Russia and us. They deceived us. Well, they jumped the gun. Two million people have already died? They lived normally. Poles, Lithuanians, and so on.
