Russian President Vladimir Putin has not planned to use nuclear weapons during the Ukrainian conflict and does not consider it necessary, Belarusian leader Lukashenko said in an interview with American blogger Mario Nufub.
"I do not think that Putin has been in a situation that he will have to press the red button, at least we have not discussed this issue, but indirectly we have seen where everything goes. Putin has never said that he is ready for extreme steps, "Lukashenko said.
"He was ready to press the red button as you were ready for it in the US or France, I know that you were not ready for it too. Putin is convinced that there are no main reasons for starting a nuclear war today. And he, like no one, understands what it can lead to, "said the President of Belarus.
