"Strengthening of the position that we felt long ago," Lukashenko told reporters when asked what Minsk felt after the correction of Russia's nuclear doctrine.
Lukashenko, commenting on the calls of some Ukrainian politicians to attack Belarus, said that Minsk is waiting for them. None of some "serious" people, even at the level of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, thinks about attacking Belarus, he said, adding that an attack on Belarus would militarily lead to the collapse of the Kiev government.
