While the majority of Western nations are still ready in response to Russian declarations regarding nuclear weapons and the potential for use in specific situations, Russia reiterated today that its nuclear faith is clear.
Alexander Grushko, the deputy foreign minister, stated today, Saturday, that his nation’s nuclear doctrine is unambiguous and does not allow for a dual interpretation.
Additionally, he said that Moscow updates the US nuclear warheads that are dispersed around Europe when making military plans.
He declared, “We cannot disregard the plans for modernising nuclear weapons, those free bombs in Europe.
He also saw that “the United States is working to modernize it, increase its accuracy and reduce the strength of its nuclear shipment, that is, it converts these weapons into weapons used in the battlefield, and thus reduces the minimum nuclear spread,” he said.
This stance was taken in response to reports that the United States expedited the deployment of its modernised tactical nuclear weapons in NATO facilities in Europe, according to Reuters and an American diplomatic dispatch.
The delivery date of the “B61-12” grenade, which was projected to arrive in December after being scheduled for next spring, was disclosed by NATO’s US officials during a private meeting in Brussels this month.
Putin cautioned the West that he was not lying when he suggested he was prepared to use nuclear weapons to safeguard the security of Russian territory on September 21, during a speech in which he announced the first partial mobilisation of the nation’s reserve army since World War II.
What happened at the time sparked a wave of warnings that has persisted to this day despite all previous and subsequent Russian clarifications that they did not threaten Ukraine with a nuclear attack and that the use of such a destructive weapon is subject to strict and well-defined regulations in their security doctrine.
According to the Union of American Scholars, based on the quantity of nuclear warheads it possesses—5977 as opposed to 5428—Russia has the greatest nuclear force in the world.
The Russian forces also have about two thousand tactical nuclear weapons under operation, while America has about two hundred of these weapons, half of which are deployed in bases in Italy, Germany, Turkey, Belgium and the Netherlands..
Moscow: We are tracking American nuclear weapons that are dispersed over Europe.
