Putin yesterday explained to one of the members of the Human Rights Council that Russia possesses nuclear weapons only for deterrent purposes, but it is not certain that it cannot use them first. Russia specified Putin “will not use the atomic arsenal first under any circumstances, which means that it will not use it second either because the possibilities of using it, in the event a nuclear blow is inflicted on our territory, are severely limited".
Putin specified that the use of defense instruments "it's all tuned around the so-called kickback and kickback. Basically, when a blow is inflicted on us, we imagine it in response… We are not mad, we realize what a nuclear weapon is".
Putin thus wanted to remind the whole world that Russia's nuclear arsenal is the most modern and powerful of all its adversaries. One way to warn those who believe Russia is now ready to capitulate.
On the special military operation, the president warned that everything is proceeding according to plan, indeed with a touch of pride he said that today Peter the Great's dream has been fulfilled, transforming the Sea of Azov into a sea nostrum, totally enslaved and controlled by Russia.
The modern tsar then announced that of the three hundred thousand new conscripts, half are in the Ukraine, while the rest are still in training. The military operations, he added, will be lengthy but in the current circumstances, talking about new calls to arms makes no sense.
Words, those of Putin, which allay the fears of some experts on the Ukrainian raids against the Russian bases of Rjazan and Engels which could have triggered point 19 of the so-called "nuclear doctrine” which provides, among the conditions that determine the use of the final weapon, the impact of the enemy on critical state or military structures of the Federation, the inactivation of which means the impossibility of the response action of the nuclear forces.
Putin, in response to the encroachments of Zelensky's bombings, accused the West of having turned a blind eye to the Ukrainian strikes against Donbass and Poland as well.
