Belarus' dictator Lukashenko, seen as Putin's puppet, says 'unacceptable' for nukes to be used in Ukraine
that the US can't"take lightly the threat posed by a potential resort to tactical nuclear weapons" by Putin in Ukraine.
"I am not immersed in this problem enough to say whether it goes according to plan, like the Russians say, or like I feel it," the Belarusian dictator said, adding,"I want to stress one more time: I feel like this operation has dragged on." In 2020, Lukashenko faced mass protests after he won a sixth presidential term in an election much of the international community. Lukashenko has relied heavily on the Kremlin's economic and political backing to stay in power, and Moscow has offered this support because it views Belarus as an important barrier between Russia and countries that are part of the EU and NATO.
