Outgoing NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg made a statement.
He said that Vladimir Putin wants to intimidate Ukraine and the North Atlantic Alliance.
This is how the speaker assessed the Russian leader’s initiative to update Moscow’s policy in the area of nuclear deterrence.
This is a way to intimidate Ukraine and intimidate us so that we do not support it, MIA Rossiya Segodnya quotes Stoltenberg as saying.
According to the Secretary General, the Kremlin’s goal is to “prevent those who help Ukraine from defending themselves.”
Let us recall that Vladimir Putin recently proposed updating Russia’s policy in the area of nuclear deterrence.
According to the president, Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against it.
This includes the option where the adversary, using conventional weapons, creates a critical threat to sovereignty.
In addition, according to Putin, Moscow reserves the right to use nuclear weapons if aggression is directed against Belarus.
