Moscow, June 27 (IANS) Changes may be made to the Russian nuclear doctrine in light of the Ukraine war, local media reported on Thursday, citing Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.
Ryabkov said that “further clarifications” would probably be made to the doctrine to reflect the experience from the Ukrainian war “when the classic old interpretation of nuclear deterrence did not work properly,” RIA Novosti reported.
Russia is ready to do everything to ensure its security, and “Western provocateurs” must understand this, Ryabkov added as reported by Xinhua news agency report.
He also noted, however, that everything must be done to prevent a slide into the use of nuclear weapons.
