The special thing about Russia’s new nuclear policy is that if Russia is attacked by a missile from a nuclear-rich country, then the Putin government will consider it as a joint attack and can consider the use of nuclear weapons in retaliation.
After the US elections, President Joe Biden has taken an important step and allowed Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russia. This has enraged Russian President Vladimir Putin because now Ukraine can easily target the big cities of Russia. Russia fears that Ukraine may attack Kursk with the help of these weapons. Taking the latest step in response to this, Russian President Putin has signed a new nuclear policy on Tuesday. It has been announced that if any country supported by any nuclear power attacks Russia, it will be considered a joint attack on their country.
Putin has signed this new nuclear policy on February 24, 2022, the 1,000th day of sending troops to Ukraine. It is believed that this step is a befitting reply to US President Joe Biden. In such a situation, the fear has increased that if Russia is attacked by deadly long-range missiles, then Russia can also launch a major air strike in retaliation and in this sequence can also give rise to a nuclear reaction. The special thing about Russia’s new nuclear policy is that if Russia is attacked by a missile from a nuclear-rich country, then the Putin government can consider using nuclear weapons in retaliation.
According to the new policy, attacks on Russia using conventional missiles, drones and other aircraft will also fall within the criteria for using nuclear weapons. It is believed that Putin has signed this policy so that Western countries can be forced to retreat from it. If this does not happen, Russia can use its nuclear arsenal, which can provoke a world war. Kremlin officials in the Russian presidential office have described the new nuclear policy as a necessary response to recent US military support for Ukraine.
According to an official document published on Russia’s government website, the revised policy reflects Moscow’s intention to strengthen its national security while expanding military support to Kiev from Western countries. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS that these new amendments to the nuclear policy have been prepared in practical terms and will now be completed as necessary. Peskov’s statement reflects Moscow’s unease following Washington’s approval of Ukraine to use US-supplied missiles against Russian military targets.
