Selfproclaimed president of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko expects that Belarus will initially receive ten Oreshnik missile systems from Russia, but then the number can be increased if Russia so wishes.
Source European Pravda, citing the Belarusian progovernment BelTA news agency Details Lukashenko said that at the first stage, Moscow is to transfer ten units of Oreshnik missile systems to Minsk.
Quote from Lukashenko I think it will be ten for now, and then well see.
If Russians want to deploy more, we will deploy more.
Background In 2025, Belarus may deploy the Oreshnik systems, which Moscow used to threaten the West after Ukraine was allowed to launch longrange strikes against Russia.
Earlier, Lukashenko noted that the Oreshniks are planned to be deployed in such a way that the distance to the targets is minimal.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that Vladimir Putins sabrerattling with the Oreshnik missile is aimed solely at disrupting President Trumps efforts to end the war.
