What Peskov said about Russia's readiness to apply the provisions of the nuclear doctrine
A Kremlin spokesman said that the growing involvement of Western countries in the conflict in Ukraine requires Russia to be ready to apply the provisions of the updated nuclear doctrine.
According to Peskov, determining the specific grounds for putting into effect the provisions of the nuclear doctrine is within the competence of the military.
They are closely monitoring what weapons are being used and how they are being used, the press secretary of the Russian head of state noted.
As reported, on September 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a change in the nuclear doctrine.
According to the new version of the document, the Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event that the enemy creates a critical threat to sovereignty, even with conventional weapons.
