Fake accusations: why Belarus stepped up nuclear threats Anzhelika Galesevich
Increasingly, representatives of the dictatorial regime of Alexander Lukashenko are making scares about the use of nuclear weapons. The last time the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Belarus Pavel Muraveiko distinguished himself.
He said they could use nuclear weapons if the country's “sovereignty” and “independence” were threatened. Belarusian oppositionist and deputy chairman of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus Pavel Latushko explained 24 Channel why these are fake reproaches.
Where did the intimidation with nuclear weapons begin
In the first days of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev constantly threatened to use nuclear weapons against Kyiv and the West. At some point, everyone realized that this was the ravings of a madman, and the Americans gave a definite answer through various channels.
Later, Alexander Lukashenko raised this topic on the initiative of Vladimir Putin, when announced the movement of tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus. Back then, propagandist Olga Skabeeva interviewed Lukashenko, where he boasted about the “red telephone” and that millions of people would die. But again, everything worked out.
Now it was necessary to attract a pro-Russian general, the new chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Belarus, Pavel Muraveiko. This was preceded by exercises allegedly using tactical nuclear weapons. However, Belarusian investigators discovered dummies at one of the airfields, and not planes and nuclear weapons. Therefore, these are fake information and propaganda stories.
What will Belarus' response be in the event of nuclear use
On July 3, Lukashenko will celebrate “independence day”. It is expected that Iskanders will be brought to the parade with “radiation” marks, as if there will be tactical nuclear missiles inside. And the Belarusian dictator himself will be on the podium, in his wretched uniform with incomprehensible shoulder straps. Even the military say that Lukashenko looks like a loyal idiot, but he likes it.
Muraveiko will be standing nearby. And, perhaps, they will hold the nuclear button in their hands, demonstrate their power, their readiness to use nuclear weapons. And I always have a question: who are you, General Muraveiko, to control the lives of my children, loved ones, relatives and my country? Who gave you the right to make such public statements that we are ready and there are no obstacles to the use of nuclear weapons? – the oppositionist emphasized.
“Does he report that there will be an answer? This answer will mean the complete destruction of Belarus. However, this general is sitting in a chair with a smile on his face , gives an interview to a journalist about how nuclear weapons will be used. Such generals should be sent to “Novinki” – this is a psychiatric hospital near Minsk,” stated Pavel Latushko.
