Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that his country reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of an attack on neighboring Belarus, its ally in the war against Ukraine.
President Vladimir Putin warned the West on Wednesday that Russia could use nuclear weapons if hit by conventional missiles and that Moscow would consider any attack on it backed by a nuclear power as a joint attack.
The decision to change Russia's official nuclear doctrine is the Kremlin's response to discussions in the United States and Britain over whether or not Ukraine should be given permission to launch Western conventional missiles at Russia.
According to Reuters Putin, opening a meeting of Russia's Security Council, said the changes were in response to a rapidly changing global landscape that had brought new threats and risks to Russia.
It is proposed that aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, be considered as their joint attack on the Russian Federation. The conditions for Russia's transition to the use of nuclear weapons are also clear ," Putin said, adding that Moscow would consider such a move if it detected the beginning of a mass launch of missiles, aircraft or drones against it.
