Lukashenko: Tomahawk supplies to Ukraine may lead to nuclear war

    President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko believes that the supply of American Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine will not resolve the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. According to him, this step by US President Donald Trump could lead to a nuclear war.

    "No Tomahawks will solve the issue. This escalates the situation to a nuclear war. This is probably understood best by Donald Trump, who is in no hurry to hand over these deadly weapons and allow them to strike deep into Russia," said Mr. Lukashenko.

    On October 13, Trump announced that he would send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if the Russian-Ukrainian conflict was not resolved. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the possible supplies a new stage in the escalation of the conflict. Today, the Financial Times newspaper wrote that the US presidential administration may send Ukraine from 20 to 50 Tomahawks. kommersant.ru.
