The “sober heads” of the West received the signals from Moscow, while the “crazy heads”, despite everything, continued with their policy. All this required a correction of Russia’s nuclear doctrine, said Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov in a conversation with VGTRK journalist Pavel Zarubin.
“Sober heads have heard [сигналы РФ]angry heads, continue with this angry policy, which can have very, very negative consequences for everyone.” – noted the Kremlin spokesman quoted by TASS.
“Of course, in fact, the development of the situation required documentation; well, such canonization, yes, of new conditions.” – he added.
“The way the international situation developed; the way tensions grew around our borders; how, in fact, nuclear powers began to participate in the conflict around Ukraine on the side of Ukraine; “The way in which NATO’s military infrastructure was advancing towards our borders made it necessary to make the necessary adjustments to nuclear doctrine,” – noted Peskov.
“The adjustments have already been prepared, now they will be formalized,” continued the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation. “The basic principles, the main approaches, have been outlined – in fact, that’s the main thing.”
As reported, this week President Vladimir Putin, at a permanent meeting of the Security Council, announced the parameters for adjusting the Russian nuclear doctrine. Among the clarifications are recognition that an attack is support by a nuclear power for a non-nuclear state at war with Russia, guarantees of a nuclear response to an attack against Russian ally Belarus, as well as a mass launch of weapons enemies. planes and missiles and other critical threats to Russian sovereignty, including with non-nuclear weapons.
