Putin said what Russia will do to ensure Belarus' security
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that his country will do to ensure the security of Belarus.
He raised this issue during a large press conference on the results of the year and a direct line with Russian regions, which were combined into a common format.
The head of state said the following: Moscow will do everything to ensure the security of the neighboring friendly republic.
We will do everything to ensure the security of Belarus, the Kremlin press service quotes Putin as saying.
The Russian leader added: Russia is taking the corresponding steps “in agreement with the leadership of Belarus,” with his colleague Alexander Lukashenko.
Putin recalled that the updated Russian nuclear doctrine separately stipulates the issue of protecting the Union State.
In this regard, he said that it had been previously stated that if threats are created for an ally of the Russian Federation, a member of the Union State, then Moscow will assess them as threats against itself.
I think that this is an important component of the updated nuclear strategy of the Russian Federation, the President expressed this opinion.
Journalists asked him: did the West understand Moscow’s actions to ensure its security in the context of the updated Russian nuclear doctrine?
The answer was this: Putin said that he had no information about whether they understood it there in the West.
The head of state advised to inquire with them about this matter.
I know what the content of Russia’s updated nuclear doctrine is,” he added.
