Aleksandr Lukashenko remarked that after the dissolution of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty Belarus had been in the center of attention. The president emphasized that the country is totally against the placement of such weapons in Europe. “I have already spoken about it many times,” the head of state said.
Therefore, he explained that Roman Golovchenko's report should not be viewed as saber-rattling. “The issue is that we are also in this boiler, in this hot political spot, and we cannot but beef up security. Unfortunately, the world does not become a safer place. We see it and, of course, we must take certain measures,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
