ASTANA, 28 November (BelTA) – Russia's Oreshnik missile system has had a strong impact on the international community, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko told journalists on the sidelines of the CSTO summit in Astana, BelTA has learned.
The head of state was asked whether the demonstration of Oreshnik's capabilities should cool down those who brought the world to the brink of WW3.
“It has already cooled them down. We have seen this right away in the media. True, there is no longer a single line, everything is in disarray. This suggests that they are a little confused,” the head of state noted. "But the weapon is good. Not nuclear but comparable in terms of power to nuclear weapons. Without penetrating radiation, without contamination of the area and facilities."
"It did produce a strong impact on the so-called international community and especially on those who thought that everything would be fine. It won't," the Belarusian leader stressed.
Answering a clarifying question whether it is important for the security of the Union State, the president said: "Naturally, it is. I asked jokingly the elder brother [Russian President Vladimir Putin]: ‘Places for deployment are ready. When?’ - ‘We'll think about it" [Vladimir Putin replied]."
