Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said in Minsk that his country would deploy nuclear weapons only in response to an attack, following remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron about a recent joint Belarusian‑Russian nuclear exercise.
Lukashenko’s statement came after Macron referenced the exercise in a broader discussion of nuclear deterrence. The Belarusian leader emphasized that nuclear use would be a last resort.
The comments come amid heightened tensions in Eastern Europe, with Belarus and Russia conducting joint military drills that have drawn international scrutiny.
