Moscow disputes that western claims it will target Kyiv with a nuclear attack will not happen. Since the start of the conflict, the US and NATO have been chittering about nukes after Russian President Vladimir Putin warned them.
Russia Won't Use Nukes in Ukraine
If the situation does call for the Russian Nuclear doctrine, but Russia asserts that the crisis in Ukraine does not satisfy any of the requirements in its extremely clear nuclear doctrine, reported RT.
The Kremlin vehemently slams the west for outrageous claims it will attack Ukraine with nuclear weapons.
Andrey Belousov, Chief of Moscow's delegation to the UN Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) review conference, told the nuclear agency in New York City last Friday.
He continued by saying that it is unthinkable since Russian doctrine greatly limits the scenarios that require the use of nuclear weapons that might be necessary for a crisis.
He added by protecting against violence using conventional forces or in response to assaults using weapons of mass destruction once the state's basic survival is in peril. Belousov said that the situation in Ukraine is not pertinent to these speculative scenarios.
The Russian diplomat also emphasized that a nuclear deterrent should be on high alert. He made it clear that the greater vigilance brought about by having more personnel on duty at the strategic command post differs from being on high alert while nuclear forces are on standby, allegedly by western claims, noted New On News.
It is not stated to whom the response was addressed, but the Kyiv delegation appears to have provoked the Russian representative's response.
Moscow is using weapons to threaten them with nuclear attack and the rest of the world, according to the NPT summit. The rhetoric from Russian sources is used by the Ukrainians as evidence of Russia's aggressiveness, citing Hi India.
Washington accused the Kremlin of coercing those supporting the proxy war in Ukraine. This is what followed the Kremlin's posture in Ukraine, its outspoken antagonism to the US, and its actions encouraged by its neocons and European backers.
On Monday, the US launched an effort to denounce the Kremlin's nuclear weapons threat. He asserted that the United States uses its nuclear arsenal more sparingly and is the last resort to protect its interests with partners and allies.
Call for New Nuclear Accord
In a letter to the conference on Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin made it clear that nuclear war is an unacceptably dangerous occurrence that would have an impact on all countries.
The White House reportedly wants to talk with the Kremlin over a "new arms control framework" this week, according to reports. However, Sergey Lavrov, the foreign minister, showed little interest in the offer.
He criticized US President Joe Biden's suggestion for a new nuclear accord, questioning whether the US leader or his officials even can replace the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty or New Start left behind by the Trump Administration with anything better.
The only significant arms control pact between Moscow and Washington that is still in effect is the historic New START. The deal was set to terminate in early 2021, although it was saved shortly after Biden's inauguration as Washington eventually consented to Moscow's wishes to prolong the agreement with no limitations. Presently, 2026 is the planned end date.
All Western claims that Moscow is ready to attack Kyiv with a nuclear attack were called outrageous by Russian officials; they cited a strict framework of who can be nuked and what justifies it.
