Putin Proposes Changes to Russia's Nuclear Deterrence Doctrine

ai generated text

Russian President Vladimir Putin has made several statements regarding Russia's nuclear deterrent, proposing changes to the country's doctrine. According to Putin, the new criteria for launching a nuclear response would include aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, which could potentially apply to Ukraine. Putin has also stated that any nation's conventional attack on Russia would be perceived as a joint attack, and that the conditions for the launch of Russia's nuclear weapons would be "reliable information". This rhetoric has been met with criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has warned the UN about Russia's intentions and lobbied for increased military aid to Ukraine. Zelenskyy has also accused Russia of planning to attack Ukrainian nuclear power plants.

    1. We will consider such a possibility once we receive reliable information about a massive launch of air and space attack weapons and their crossing our state border.
    2. It's important to predict how the situation will develop and accordingly adapt the clauses of the document on strategic planning to current realities.
    3. I mean aeroplanes of strategic and tactical aviation, cruise missiles, drones, hypersonic and other aircraft.
    4. We see the modern military and political situation is dynamically changing and we must take this into consideration. Including the emergence of new sources of military threats and risks for Russia and our allies.
    5. It seems to me that an element of uncertainty will be preserved so as to increase the level of flexibility. But … since using nuclear weapons in case of attacks similar to the one in Kursk will be accompanied by significant negative side effects, this can be hardly justified from a military point of view.

    1. Russia no longer has any instruments to intimidate the world apart from nuclear blackmail. These instruments will not work.

    1. If, God forbid, Russia causes a nuclear disaster at one of our nuclear power plants, the radiation will not respect state borders.
    2. If someone in the world seeks alternatives … it likely means they themselves want to do a part of what Putin is doing … the question arises: what is the true interest?
    3. But the peace formula … there is no veto power in it. That's why it's the best opportunity for peace.
    4. Maybe someone wants a Nobel Prize for their political biography for [a] frozen truce instead of real peace.

    1. Putin likely intends for the hyper-specificity of his nuclear threats to breathe new life into the Kremlin's tired nuclear sabre-rattling information operation and generate a new wave of panic among Western policymakers during a particularly critical moment in Western policy discussions about Ukraine's ability to use Western-provided weapons.

    1. We continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deal.

    1. Overall, it is a message that is designed to kind of warn the West, in this case, that the kind of assistance that is being discussed right now could be, could be problematic.

    1. Generally speaking, this means that Russia under the new doctrine can now use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Ukraine's aggression in Kursk region is there. There is support of nuclear U.S., Britain and France. So it is already possible to hit Kyiv with nuclear weapons.
  8. RU
    Abbas Galyamov
    New People's Party
    1. They have again indicated that they no longer expect to defeat Ukraine with conventional weapons.
