Self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko warned US leader Donald Trump that the US transfer of Tomahawk subsonic cruise missiles to Ukraine would mean"nuclear war", reports The Independent.

""Tomahawks" will not solve the problem. They will escalate the situation to nuclear war.

"So Russia will use its entire arsenal. And that means World War III. But the West doesn't want that either. They're not ready for that. We've made it clear that our red line is our national borders. If they cross them, our reaction will be immediate. We're preparing for that. I'm honest and open about that," he said then.
