Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to change the nuclear doctrine. The draft expands the category of states and military alliances subject to nuclear deterrence. The list of military threats to neutralize which nuclear deterrence measures are being implemented has been added.
Russian media reports on this.
The Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against Belarus. Reliable information about the launch of aerospace attack weapons towards Russia will provoke a nuclear response.
The updated version of the document proposes to consider “aggression” against the Russian Federation by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, as their joint attack against Russia.
This means that the Russian Federation wants to make possible the conditional use of nuclear weapons against Ukraine, since this country is not a nuclear-weapon state, but it relies on the support of Western countries that are “nuclear”.
“A critical threat to Russian sovereignty from conventional weapons will be the basis of our nuclear response,” Putin said.
The Russian dictator also added that the Russian Federation could consider the use of nuclear weapons after receiving reliable data on the massive launch of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles across the border.
Earlier, Kursor wrote that the Russian Federation is preparing for a possible nuclear attack on the western part of Ukraine. According to forecasts, this region will become a target for Russian terrorists, which is also confirmed by the opinions of Ukrainian experts. British intelligence also said that it had informed Ukrainian military leaders about the potential threat and recommended warning the population of the western regions of Ukraine.
