Belarus considers the militarization of Eastern Europe a security threat and interprets its Western neighbors' actions as preparations for an attack, according to Valery Revenko, head of the Belarusian Defense Ministry's International Military Cooperation Department.

During a briefing for foreign military attaches in Minsk, Revenko said, "The current situation forces us to regard the processes taking place near the western borders of Belarus as a preparation for an attack on the Union State, which aims to destroy it."

The military official stated that Belarus perceives the military buildup in Eastern Europe as "a potential external military threat that, under certain conditions, could lead to armed conflict."

While focusing on regional security, military information exchange, and mutual inspections, Belarus has bilateral agreements with Poland and the Baltic states.

Revenko stated, "The use of these mechanisms in the current conditions, given the lack of alternatives, would contribute to restoring trust and security in the region, which is undoubtedly in the interest of our peoples."

The military official criticized the governments of the neighboring countries for "persistently avoiding taking these obvious and reasonable steps," opting instead to promote "openly aggressive and hostile narratives."

It is worth recalling that Lukashenko revealed on December 10 last year that the country is hosting dozens of nuclear warheads, stating, "I transported nuclear warheads here. More than a dozen pieces," according to the Belta state news agency.

Lukashenko also outlined plans for the Oreshnik launch pad, which Belarus planned to build independently. He emphasized the weapon's power, noting, "There is no antidote against this weapon. It is impossible to intercept it, shoot it down, and so on."

Highlighting the strategic intent behind the deployment, Lukashenko expressed confidence in the deterrent effect of the Oreshnik system, drawing parallels with tactical nuclear weapons, which have also been brought into Belarus.
