The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, called for not linking the update of the nuclear doctrine with the progress of the special operation in Ukraine.
This is how the Kremlin spokesman responded to the question of whether yesterday's attack by Ukrainian drones is a precedent for the use of nuclear weapons.
Peskov's statement is quoted by TASS .
What Peskov said about the nuclear doctrine and the progress of the SVO
Yesterday, 125 Ukrainian drones were destroyed by air defense systems over seven regions of the Russian Federation and the Sea of Azov.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, 67 drones were destroyed over the Volgograd Region, 18 over the Rostov Region, 17 each over the Voronezh and Belgorod Regions, one each over the Krasnodar Region, Kursk and Bryansk Regions, and three over the Sea of Azov.
According to the updated nuclear doctrine, a massive launch of air and space attack weapons towards the Russian Federation could become grounds for the use of nuclear weapons.
Answering the question of whether yesterday's drone attack is a precedent for a nuclear response, Peskov called for avoiding excessive appeals to the nuclear doctrine and not linking its updating to the progress of the NBC.
The SVO continues on its own; there is no need to look for any connections every time, the press secretary of the head of the Russian state stated.
