The Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has issued a grave warning that Minsk and Moscow will use “nuclear arms” in the event of an attack on the republic, meaning Belarus or Russia.
Vladimir Putin has now tweaked Russia’s nuclear doctrine, so any long-range attacks by Ukraine on the Russian Federation by using “aerospace weapons, including aircraft missiles and UAVs” is now “the basis for the use of nuclear weapons.”
The deputy head of the National Security Council Dmitry Medvedev also warned that any attack on Russia using any type of weapon with the support or participation if a nuclear-weapon country “will be considered a joint-attack.”

Medvedev who is Putin’s right-hand man warned, “A massive launch and crossing of our border with enemy aerospace weapons, including aircraft, missiles and UAVs, can under certain conditions become the basis for the use of nuclear weapons.
“Aggression against Russia by a non-nuclear-weapon state, but with the support or participation of a nuclear-weapon country, will be considered a joint attack.”
The BelTA news agency quoted the Belarusian President saying,
“I said at the patriotic forum on September 17 that an attack on Belarus would be the third world war.
“Putin recently confirmed this, amending the nuclear doctrine, that an attack on Russia and Belarus would mean we would use nuclear weapons. He confirmed my words. This was the essence of my statement.”
Lukashenko added, “As soon as they attack us (NATO is NATO – the Americans and Poles – they have already lined up along the border, especially the Polish one.
“We know that the Polish leadership is already rubbing its hands), we use nuclear weapons. And Russia gets involved for us.
“We will use nuclear weapons – they can respond to us. And against Russia as well.
“Therefore, Russia will use its entire arsenal. And this is already a world war.
“The West does not want this either. They are not ready for this. But we tell them frankly: the red line is the state border.
“If we step on it – the response will be immediate. We are preparing for this. I am speaking about this honestly and openly.”
