Lavrov considered Lukashenko's words about the deployment of nuclear weapons in Belarus as a warning 
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov believes that Alexander the possibility of placing Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus is a warning to Western countries. RIA Novosti quotes the diplomat.
“I would take this statement as a very serious warning, which is dictated, first of all, by the reckless policy pursued by the West,” Lukashenka justified the words of Lavrov. At the same time, the diplomat did not disclose whether he considers such statements to be realizable.
The Belarusian president threatened that he would offer his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to return nuclear weapons to the republic if similar NATO systems ended up in Poland. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg previously spoke about plans to move American nuclear systems “to the east” if Germany refuses to deploy them.
At the same time, in July 1993, Belarus officially joined the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons ( NPT), voluntarily abandoning the systems left over after the collapse of the USSR.
