Russia Considers Amending Nuclear Doctrine Amid Rising Tensions with NATO and West: TASS
Jun 11, 2024, 09:22 AM
Russia is considering amendments to its nuclear deterrence doctrine in response to Western actions, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov. The proposed changes are driven by perceived threats from NATO and the United States, which have escalated tensions. Ryabkov highlighted that the situation is becoming increasingly complex, necessitating a review of Russia's nuclear policies. This move follows recent Western enthusiasm for launching missile attacks into Russia, which Moscow views as a significant provocation. Additionally, Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu stated that tactical nuclear weapon drills are being conducted in response to NATO's military build-up near Russian borders. The TASS news agency reported that the deterrence documents could be aligned with current needs.
