NATO announces 'revision of nuclear doctrine' to Russia "extend reckless message"

NATO points out that reckless messages are being repeated against Russia, which NATO has announced that it will revise its nuclear doctrine.

"We've seen Russia's reckless nuclear rhetoric and messages, and the revision of its nuclear doctrine fits here," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told Reuters a day before he left office.

Stoltenberg stressed that whenever NATO provides Ukraine with new weapons, such as long-range weapons and F-16, Russia has tried to stop it, but Russia has never succeeded in doing so.

He added that he did not detect any changes that required our response to Russia's nuclear posture.

Earlier on the 25th, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a revision of the nuclear doctrine that includes the principle of nuclear use at the National Security Council.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on the 29th that a revision to the nuclear doctrine had already been prepared and would be formalized soon.

The revised doctrine is said to include that if a country that does not possess nuclear weapons attacks Russia with the support of a nuclear power, the sponsor is also considered an attacker.

Russia's revision of its nuclear doctrine was announced amid growing calls among major NATO members to allow Ukraine to use long-range weapons, which was interpreted as a warning to the United States and others.
