The Russian Foreign Ministry emphasised on Wednesday that preventing a nuclear war that would have “catastrophic repercussions” is “the utmost priority” in the wake of the tense situation between Moscow and the West regarding Ukraine.
According to France Press, “We are strongly persuaded that in light of the current and challenging situation – as a result of irresponsible and unmatched measures intended to undermine our national security – the highest priority is to avert any military collision between the nuclear forces.”
Additionally, Moscow urged other nuclear powers to “give up risky attempts to infringe the fundamental rights of others.
“It is interesting that on October 29, Alexander Grushko, the deputy foreign minister of Russia, declared that his nation’s nuclear doctrine was unambiguous and did not allow for any room for interpretation.
Grushko stated that Moscow updates its military preparations in light of the US nuclear weapons scattered over Europe, and he added: “The plans to modernise nuclear weapons, including those free bombs in Europe, cannot be disregarded.
Additionally, he observed that “the United States is trying to update it, improve its precision, and decrease the strength of its nuclear cargo, that is, it converts these weapons into weapons used in the war, and therefore reduces the minimum nuclear spread,” he stated.
Additionally, he observed that “the United States is trying to update it, boost its precision, and decrease the strength of its nuclear cargo, that is, it converts these weapons into weapons used in the war, and therefore reduces the minimum nuclear spread,” he added.
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 possesses about 200 of these weapons, half of which are deployed in bases in Italy, Germany, Turkey, Belgium and the Netherlands..
