Lukashenko believes that it will not come to the supply of "Tomahawk" missiles to Kyiv

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that he believes it will not come to the supply of "Tomahawk" missiles to Kyiv.

When talking about the possibility of supplying American Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv, Lukashenko told Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin: "I think we need to look at this issue calmly. Our friend Donald (US President Trump - note) has his own specific strategy when dealing with the most acute issues. Therefore, I think that sometimes he 'yields' to the relevant authorities and the public, and sometimes he acts more firmly, then his strategy is to relax a little and retreat a bit. Therefore, do not simply and directly understand that it will fly over tomorrow. "

President of Belarus emphasized: "Moreover, the world today is multi-polar. Every poison has an antidote. I think the US president is more aware of this than anyone else. In order to avoid falling into this situation, when such a serious poison needs to be treated with an antidote... He understands that such things should not happen, and that it will not come to that. Based on my slight understanding of his character, this is how I understand it. So everything will be normal. "

This week, US President Donald Trump said that he had basically approved the supply of American cruise missiles to Ukraine, but it needs to clarify Kyiv's usage plan.

Russia immediately warned that this move would lead to a serious escalation of the situation, given that this type of missile has a nuclear version. Russian President Putin said that Russia would respond by strengthening its air defense system, while warning that the delivery of "Tomahawk" to Ukraine would severely damage Russia-US relations, and that this weapon system could not be effectively deployed without direct US military involvement.

According to a report in the magazine "Responsible Governance Strategies", the Ukrainian Armed Forces currently do not have the technical conditions to independently operate the "Tomahawk" missile system.
