On Tuesday, President Vladimir Putin, as expected, changes Russia’s nuclear doctrine, only two days after the authorization by his US counterpart Joe Biden allowing Ukraine to target deep inside Russia using the American-made weapons.
According to the newly released doctrine on Tuesday, any aggression from a non-nuclear country that is fighting on behalf of an enemy nation with nuclear capabilities will be viewed as a combined assault towards Moscow.
The Kremlin started this new wave of nuclear threats on Tuesday stating that the updated military doctrine will conceptually make it easier to resort to nuclear weapon use for the first strike.
In a call with reporters on Tuesday, Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Kremlin, insisted that the revisions mean that “the Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons — in the case of aggression with conventional weapons being directed against it and/or the Republic of Belarus.”
In the Russian military doctrine, nuclear deterrence is a strong point, however, the updated doctrine seeks to extend the threshold of any act that will attract an aggressive posture towards Russia.
“Particularly, this statement reiterates the importance of nuclear deterrence, which is designed to convince any possible aggressor of the futility of aggression against the Russian Federation or its allies,” Peskov explained.
The amendment is put into place as the Kremlattultz agitation unit – internecine – retorts to the measures of the Ukrainian administration that have been at the appeal of the Bush platform activists, who have consented to Ukraine attacking positions with long-range powerful American armaments that are located within Russian territory.
