Kremlin warns of a nuclear response when Ukraine fires US missiles – London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

Vladimir Putin has updated the principles of Russia’s nuclear doctrine nuclear deterrence policy and Western missiles hitting targets inside the country could justify a nuclear attack on the West.

The new approved nuclear doctrine implies a nuclear strike could happen if there is “aggression against the Russian Federation and its allies by a non-nuclear state with the support of a nuclear state” using massive aerial non-nuclear attacks such as using drones.

Putin will now consider aggression by a non-nuclear state as a joint attack by the West if it is supported and the strike has been with the participation of a nuclear armed country.

Putin has said that Russia does not need a preventative strike in their nuclear deterrence policy “because, in a retaliatory strike, the enemy will be guaranteed to be destroyed.

On Tuesday the Kremlin said they reserve the right “to consider a nuclear response to a conventional weapons attack threatening its sovereignty, a large-scale launch of enemy aircraft, missiles, and drones targeting Russian territory, their crossing of the Russian border, and an attack on its ally Belarus.

The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned this change must be seen as a “certain signal” to the West to not allow the use of long-range missiles on the Russian Federation.

On 26 September Peskov said, “This is a signal that warns these countries of the consequences if they take part in an attack on our country by various means, not necessarily nuclear.”
