If it were necessary to deploy nuclear weapons, we could do it with the current Constitution - said Lukashenko referring to his conversation with Macron yesterday - There are no obstacles for us in this sense.
If the United States or France, which is also a nuclear power, sent nuclear weapons to Poland or Lithuania near our borders, I would not be able to do the same on my own.
I have no such weapons.
But I will tell the Russian president Vladimir Putin that I would like to have nuclear weapons back, I agreed to surrender without any preconditions ", Lukashenko. (ANSA).
