Belarus has received nuclear-capable Iskander missiles with nuclear warheads from Russia, as confirmed by Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko. Lukashenko thanked Russia for supplying these weapons at its own expense and indicated that the acquisition has quieted some neighboring countries. He accused Poland of allegedly planning an attack on Belarus, vowing to defend his country and allies vigorously. Additionally, Belarus' new military doctrine now includes the option to use nuclear weapons, and Lukashenko did not miss the opportunity to threaten his neighbors with this enhanced capability. The transfer of nuclear-capable missiles and the updated doctrine reflect a heightened military alignment between Belarus and Russia, with Lukashenko having previously urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to return Soviet-era nuclear weapons to Belarus.
Belarus will consider an attack on its allies as an attack on its territory , the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus reported with reference to the new military doctrine.
