The Kremlin's revised nuclear doctrine establishes that any military aggression against Russia or its allies by a coalition could result in a nuclear response, marking a critical shift.
Putin's decree clarifies that while nuclear weapons are viewed as an extreme measure, their consideration as a means of deterrence underscores Russia's firm stance on retaliatory capabilities against Western support for Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov elaborated that the new doctrine reflects a readiness to respond to non-nuclear threats with nuclear options, highlighting the importance of demonstrated deterrence against potential aggression.
The updated nuclear doctrine emphasizes that the head of state is responsible for decisions regarding the use of nuclear weapons, ensuring that a retaliatory posture is firmly maintained.
