No Tomahawk missiles will resolve the conflict in Ukraine, but will escalate the situation to the point of nuclear war, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Tuesday.
"No Tomahawk missiles will solve the problem. This will escalate the situation to the point of nuclear war. Perhaps no one understands this better than [US President] Donald Trump, who is in no rush to hand over these deadly weapons and allow strikes deep into Russia," Lukashenko said, as quoted by the state-run Belta news agency.
On Saturday, media reported that Trump and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky had discussed the possibility of Kiev acquiring Tomahawk long-range missiles during a phone conversation. On Sunday, Zelensky said he had a second call with the US president, during which they discussed, among other things, strengthening Ukraine's air defense.
Trump told reporters over the weekend that he might discuss the potential supply of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine with Russian President Vladimir Putin, indicating that Washington could give the weapons to Kiev if the conflict remains unresolved.
