The Kremlin commented on changes in Russia's nuclear doctrine.
Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov called the update of the nuclear doctrine a signal to unfriendly countries.
The statement by the Kremlin representative is quoted by MIA "Russia Today" .
Peskov called the changes in the nuclear doctrine a signal warning unfriendly states of the consequences if they participate in an attack on the Russian Federation by various means.
And not necessarily nuclear ones, ” added the press secretary of the head of the Russian state.
The Kremlin spokesman noted that sensible leaders had previously understood the seriousness of Putin's statements.
He also noted that the nuclear potential of the Russian Federation is well known throughout the world.
Yesterday, at a meeting of the Security Council on nuclear deterrence, Putin announced an update to the “Fundamentals of State Policy in the Sphere of Nuclear Deterrence.”
According to the Russian president, aggression against the Russian Federation by any non-nuclear country with the support of a nuclear power will be regarded as their joint attack. A critical threat to sovereignty by conventional weapons will also be a reason for a nuclear response.
