Russia redefines nuclear doctrine amidst global tensions
– So, we aren't surprised by Russia's update to its nuclear doctrine – stated Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh. She added that the United States has no "indications" that Russia is preparing to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
Putin approved the revised nuclear doctrine, according to which a "critical step" to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Belarus and Russia may constitute grounds for the use of nuclear weapons.
Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh was asked about the Russian dictator's decision during a press briefing. – So, we aren't surprised by Russia's update to its nuclear doctrine. It's something that they've been signalling that they intend to update over the last several weeks. So, we aren't surprised by Russia's update to its nuclear doctrine.
