“Remember the principles of this doctrine,” said the representative of the Kremlin
The representative of the Russian presidency launched new “nuclear” threats on Tuesday Dmitry Peskov.
The Kremlin says the annexation “referendums” being concluded today in four Russian-held regions of Ukraine will have “consequences” for those territories in terms of their security, including possible nuclear protection.
“In these territories there will be significant changes from a legal point of view, at the level of international law and in terms of all the corresponding consequences (of the measures taken) for their security,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
“Our justice system will consider all options, and, of course, our legislators, our executive agencies and our legal teams are standing by,” he added.
Earlier, former Prime Minister and President Dmitry Medvedev had mentioned the possibility of applying Russian nuclear deterrence doctrine to these territories. Russian doctrine provides for nuclear strikes in the event of a nuclear attack against Russia or existential threat against the Russian state.
“Russia has the right to use atomic weapons and, if necessary, in predetermined cases, in strict compliance with the principles of the government’s policy regarding nuclear deterrence,” Medvedev explained.
To a related question, the Kremlin spokesman confirmed that Medvedev’s statements referred to Russia’s “military doctrine” and motivated everyone “to remember the principles of this doctrine.”
