A Kremlin spokesman linked the move directly to the ‘threats’ created by the West and blamed the United States for destroying the post-Cold War security architecture of Europe
The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia was adjusting its nuclear doctrine because the United States and its Western allies were threatening Russia by escalating the war in Ukraine and riding roughshod over Moscow’s legitimate security interests.
Russia’s current published nuclear doctrine, set out in a 2020 decree by President Vladimir Putin, says Russia may use nuclear weapons in case of a nuclear attack by an enemy or a conventional attack that threatens the existence of the state. As Russia, which now controls 18 per cent of Ukraine, advances, Kyiv has repeatedly asked for more Western weapons and permission to use Western-supplied long-range weapons in its attacks far into the Russian territory.
Peskov said it was obvious that Ukraine would move to striking targets deep in Russia with Western weapons.
