Lukashenko said that since Russia deployed nuclear weapons on Belarusian territory, the way Western countries such as the United States communicate with Belarus has changed

President of Belarus Lukashenko said during a meeting with heads of Belarusian diplomatic missions, "As soon as the nuclear weapons were deployed here, the tone of the Americans and other countries speaking to us was completely different. I would say, 'Guys, don't have any bad ideas, we won't bomb anyone. But you must understand: take one step to the left, one step to the right, just stepping onto our country's territory, and you will face immediate retaliation.' They said 'We understand.' Well, that's good. What country can provide us with such a protective shield? None, except Russia. Now this is very valuable."

Lukashenko believes that Russia is the guarantor of Belarus's security. In April this year, he stated that Russia had already deployed dozens of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.
