An analyst told Kremlin-backed media sites that the West has created a “nuclear war Pandora’s box” in Russia.
Russia has decreased the threshold for a nuclear reaction to any attack on its territory, including the region Vladimir Putin has acquired during the conflict in Ukraine, according to information obtained by Knewz.com.
According to reports, the Kremlin made public a new executive order from the Russian president earlier this week, stating that “the emergence of new military threats and risks” has caused the country to reevaluate the justifications for allowing “extreme measures.”
According to reports, the revised nuclear doctrine, titled Foundations of State Policy in the Field of Nuclear Deterrence, asserts:
“Using nuclear weapons (NW) is a drastic step to preserve national sovereignty. At the same time, Russia wanted to make clear the conditions under which NW may be used because of the rise of new military risks and threats.
The Russian state news agency TASS published the following about the new philosophy, which was revised from the June 2020 version:
“Specifically, the revised doctrine broadens the list of military threats that nuclear deterrence is intended to address, as well as the nations and military alliances that are subject to it. The text further declares that Russia will now consider any assault by a nuclear-backed non-nuclear nation to be a joint attack.
“Moscow also reserves the right to consider a nuclear response to a conventional weapons attack threatening its sovereignty, a large-scale launch of enemy aircraft, missiles, and drones targeting Russian territory, their crossing of the Russian border, and an attack on its allyBelarus,” the news agency added.
Notably, following extensive White House discussions, President Joe Biden authorized Ukraine to employ US-supplied missiles to strike targets deep into Russian territory, which was followed by Russia’s revised nuclear instruction.
According to reports, the authorization was largely a reaction to North Korean forces being sent into the conflict in Ukraine.
According to a comment from Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov, “What is the most striking example of the realities of the contemporary day? A decision is made by the White House authorities in the United States to employ American-made weaponry against the Russian Federation.
Peskov continued, “We needed that update, we ensured this,” alluding to Russia’s revised nuclear doctrine.
Professor Yuri Zhdanov, the head of the Department of International Law at the Russian State Social University, said in a statement that the West has opened a Pandora’s box regarding Russia’s possible nuclear response, which appears to have been sparked by the choices made by Ukraine’s Western allies during the conflict.
“Russia has hinted that it may step up its support for the Houthi rebel group in Yemen, which has been firing missiles at ships in the Red Sea,” the expert told Moskovskij Komsomolets, a Kremlin-backed media source. The Houthis are said to have received satellite targeting data from Russia.
Furthermore, it has contemplated providing the group with advanced missiles, a risk that Western officials characterize as horizontal escalation, meaning it extends beyond Ukraine. Even our Western “partners” have opened a can of worms and are unsure of how to handle everything, including our “isolation.” Furthermore, this is not the first instance,” Prof. Zhdanov continued.
Notably, Russian President Putin stated, “It is not a question of allowing the Kyiv regime to strike Russia with these weapons or not,” in response to the alleged White House authorization to Ukraine. The choice of whether or not NATO nations will directly engage in the military confrontation is at hand.
According to Russian media, Ukraine will have to rely on reconnaissance from “regular NATO servicemen” since it lacks the resources to “independently” launch long-range strikes using U.S.-supplied missiles.
However, the decision to allow Ukraine to use American weaponry to attack Russia outside the border may be reversed under the incoming Donald Trump administration. The president-elect has long stated that he could end the crisis quickly, but he hasn’t provided specifics.
Politicians in the Kremlin think that Russia will benefit from a deal that the Trump administration has suggested to end the conflict in Ukraine.
