The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its operations would be “limited and targeted”.
Another example: Russia has stationed tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.“Is Putin ready to use those weapons in the war in Ukraine?” I ask.
“Putin will never use the weapons stationed in Belarus without the Belarusian president’s consent,” Lukashenko tells me.“Are you ready to allow the use of nuclear weapons?”“I’m completely ready, otherwise why have these weapons? But only if the boot of one [foreign] soldier steps into Belarus. We have no plans to attack anyone.”
Human rights groups estimate there are currently 1,300 political prisoners in Belarus.Alexander Lukashenko had previously told me there were none.
But speaking to me today (perhaps inadvertently) he used the phrase “political prisoner”, when speaking about the small number freed in recent months.
Some commentators have interpreted the releases as a message from Lukashenko to the West that he seeks better relations."What makes it exciting is that Bonehead and possibly other band members will have played out elements of their songs on this piano, and now Oasis fans and collectors can try their hands on the same keys."
The piano will be sold online at 12:00 GMT on Tuesday.Mr McIlroy added: "I can imagine that there will be a few Oasis and music fans who would love this piano as a Christmas present, but they will need quite deep pockets."
