Lukashenko called speculation in Europe about nuclear weapons a sword in the hands of thoughtless politicians

MINSK, October 13 - RIA Novosti. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko called speculation in Europe about nuclear weapons a sword in the hands of thoughtless politicians, noting that this sword is double-edged.

“They began to openly speculate on the topic of improving nuclear potential. As they call it now there, Europe’s nuclear shield. Although, looking at the aggressive plans of individual European states and their leaders that have already been voiced more than once, it is appropriate today to talk not about the shield. Rather, it is a sword in the hands of thoughtless politicians,” Lukashenko said, as quoted by the Belta news agency.
