Russian President Vladimir Putin has amended Russia’s nuclear deterrence doctrine.
In the updated version of the document, aggression by a non-nuclear state, but with the support of a nuclear state against the Russian Federation will be considered a joint attack. Dictator Putin made the corresponding statement on September 25 at a meeting of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
The head of Russia expanded the “category of states and military alliances for which nuclear deterrence is carried out.” The document also supplemented the list of military threats for the neutralization of which nuclear deterrence measures are carried out. The war criminal also threatened a nuclear strike in response to aggression against Belarus.
In addition, Putin stated that a nuclear response would follow if there were massive launches of drones or missiles at Russia.
Recall that on September 21, Russian nuclear deterrent forces failed a new test of the RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile. It is still unknown what caused the accident. Since the Sarmat missile has a liquid-fueled rocket engine, an incident with its detonation could have occurred.
