Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev commented on changes in the country's nuclear doctrine.
He called them "an event that was expected." That's how the politician titled the corresponding post on his Telegram channel.
He noted that Vladimir Putin "outlined the approaches to the new version" on the doctrine issue. And he named the changes.
Adjustments
One of them concerns aggression against the Russian Federation by a state that does not have nuclear weapons, but its aggression is supported or participated in by a country with nuclear weapons.
In this case, this aggression will be viewed by Moscow as “a joint attack.”
The second change concerns Belarus. Now the Russian Federation will provide equivalent nuclear protection to the republic as its closest ally.
The third adjustment concerns the crossing of the Russian border by military air weapons of destruction of the enemy, including aircraft, missiles, and drones.
According to Medvedev, “under certain conditions” this could become the basis for the Russian Federation to use nuclear weapons.
A reason to think
This is a reason to think not only for the rotten neo-Nazi regime, but also for all of Russia’s enemies who are pushing the world towards a nuclear catastrophe, the deputy head of the Security Council noted.
He added: each situation “that gives grounds for resorting to nuclear protection must be assessed in conjunction with other factors.”
In this case, the decision to use nuclear weapons will be made by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.
But the very fact of adjusting the nuclear doctrine regarding the use of nuclear weapons “may cool the ardor of those opponents who have not yet lost their sense of self-preservation,” the author of the post summed up.
