China News Agency, Moscow, December 7 (Reporter Tian Bing) Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a video conference with members of the Civil Society Development and Human Rights Committee on the 7th that the threat of nuclear war in the world is increasing day by day, and that Russia will mass-destroy weapons and nuclear weapons as means of self-defense.
According to the Kremlin website, Putin said in response to the committee members' speeches that there is no need to deny that the threat of nuclear war is increasing.
He pointed out that Russia will not be the first to use nuclear weapons under any circumstances. If Russia will not be the first to use nuclear weapons under any circumstances, it means that it will not be the second, because if Russia's territory is attacked The possibility of retaliating with nuclear weapons is very limited.
Putin stressed that Russia is not "crazy" and aware of the consequences of using nuclear weapons.
Russia views weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapons as a means of self-defense, and its strategy of using defensive means is built around counter-attacks—that is, Russia retaliates only when it is hit.
Putin also stated that Russia has the most advanced nuclear weapons in the world. Russia has not provided nuclear weapons to other countries before and now, but it will use all means to protect its allies if necessary.
He pointed out that Russia will not use such weapons to threaten the world. Nuclear weapons themselves are a means of deterrence, not provocative tools that lead to the expansion of conflicts.
Russia does not deploy nuclear weapons, including tactical nuclear weapons, on the territory of other countries, while the United States has a large number of tactical nuclear weapons deployed in Europe.
