June 10, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Belarusian Defense Minister Viktar Chrenin has lashed out at Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis over his remark last week that Ukraine should be allowed to strike attack assets both in Russia and Belarus to defend itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Lithuanian foreign minister, in his militaristic frenzy, went as far as to actually call for a strike on Russian military facilities located on the territory of our country,” he told soldiers and officers today, while opening the second phase of a Belarusian-Russian joint tactical nuclear drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some \u201chotheads in the West\u201d are nurturing plans to use military force against Belarus after failing to instigate color revolutions, has added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general described the drill as routine training, denying Russia\u2019s intention \u201cto create any tension\u201d in the region, defense ministry’s press office reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus holds regular drills amid tension with the West over Russia\u2019s war against Ukraine, in which Minsk supports the Kremlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 7, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka ordered the army to hold the drill involving delivering nuclear munitions to \u201cmissile and aviation military units, loading them onto launchers and attaching them to aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move came a day after the Russian General Staff announced preparations for a similar exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US-based Institute for the Study of War played down threats from Minsk and Moscow, noting that Russia is unlikely to use nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
