In the updated nuclear deterrence strategy, any aggression against Russia by non-nuclear states defined as supporting nuclear states may be seen as a joint attack, according to President Putin.
Putin emphasized that the nuclear strategy asserts the use of these weapons is an extreme measure to protect Russia's sovereignty, particularly when faced with significant threats from enemies.
He clarified that a transition to nuclear arms would be considered if conventional weapons created a critical threat to Russia and Belarus, indicating a collaborative defense approach.
Moscow has historically maintained a serious stance on nuclear matters, stressing the importance of responsible handling of nuclear issues amid rising tensions in the Ukraine conflict.
