BelNPP As Nuclear Weapon?

Why Lukashenka talked about "nuclear materials".

On June 22, speaking at the Brest Fortress, Aliaksandr Lukashenka spoke not only about drug trafficking and illegal immigrants traveling to the EU, whom he now does not want to stop. He also said about the requests of the West to detain some "nuclear materials" so that they do not end up in Europe, telegraf.by writes.

The experts told what kind of materials this refers to, and why Aliaksandr Lukashenka started talking about them right now.

Former deputy of the People's Council of Belarus Siarhei Navumchyk believes that Aliaksandr Lukashenka has started "nuclear blackmail" of the West.

"Already from across the Atlantic, a signal is heard: help, as it was before, stop nuclear materials so that they do not end up in Europe" - this phrase of Lukashenka, who rules the country with a nuclear power plant, cannot be ignored both for the Atlantic that he recalled, and on the European continent. And those who see it as a hint of nuclear blackmail will not be far from the truth. And this is much more serious than the interception of a civilian plane," the expert commented on the words of Aliaksandr Lukashenka on his Telegram channel.

"Intellectual old age"

In turn, an expert in the military sphere, columnist Yahor Lebiadok recalled that such statements were heard before.

"The statement on nuclear materials in the networks has caused, in my opinion, a sharp overreaction, they say, this is a new bottom line and so on. The fact is, in this statement it's not the nuclear materials and related threats that are new, but we indeed see the intensively growing psychological discomfort and intellectual old age, since he is increasingly trying to solve new problems in new conditions in the ways that once worked in his youth," writes Yahor Lebiadok.

"Whatever he himself and his entourage say, sanctions, and information work of the media and bloggers, and the strong position of the EU, and many other factors within Belarus are affecting him. Makei does not succeed in selling the "anti-Russian fighter", "the people" etc to the West, which causes even greater psychological stress, since these old methods do not work, and the subordinates cannot offer any others (he picked such staff himself), but it is necessary to act and the old methods emerge again, resulting in a loop of psychological discomfort ", the expert is sure.

'For those who have just now become interested in politics in Belarus, a statement with an almost threat of transit of nuclear materials may indeed seem new. But in fact, Lukashenka has used nuclear materials for political purposes for a long time," Yahor Lebiadok reminded.

"In particular, the deal with the Russian Federation and the United States (it was not in vain that he just mentioned the Atlantic) on the export of enriched nuclear materials from Belarus on the eve of the 2010 elections (apparently, in the hope of at least the US being silent about the democracy in the elections). However, the deal was apparently not fully implemented, since the United States did not recognize the elections after the dispersal of the "square", said the expert.

Is Belarus a nuclear state that can make a bomb?

Earlier it was reported that engineer-physicist Andrei Ozharovsky commented on the words of Aliaksandr Lukashenka that Belarus has become a "nuclear state".

"There was a solemn procedure for raising the capacity [at the BelNPP], partaken by the general director of Rosatom Likhachev, and Aliaksandr Lukashenka. And Lukashenka said directly that Belarus is becoming a nuclear state," the expert recalled.

"The club of nuclear states is a club of states possessing nuclear weapons. I don't know what this respectable gentleman with a mustache has in mind. Perhaps he read somewhere that it is possible to become an owner of an atomic bomb (hardly, perhaps he was deceived) , I do not exclude the possibility of attempts at military use of this object," added Andrei Ozharovsky.
