The Kremlin’s statement came at a time of tension. Both NATO and Russia were expected to hold military exercises in the near future to assess their readiness for nuclear weapons.
Russia claimed Tuesday that the four Ukrainian territories it declared annexed last month are now under its protection.
The Kremlin’s statement came at a time of tension. Both NATO and Russia were expected to hold military exercises in the near future to assess their readiness for nuclear weapons.
When reporters asked Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesperson, if the region was under Moscow’s nuclear umbrella. He replied: “All these territories and parts of the Russian Federation are inalienable parts and they are all protected. Their security is at the same level [as] for the rest of Russia’s territory.”
Last month, President Vladimir Putin stated that Moscow was willing to use nuclear weapons to protect Russia’s territorial integrity. On Oct. 6, U.S. President Joe Biden stated that his threat had brought the world closer “Armageddon” to any time since 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Many feared that a nuclear war was imminent.
Some analysts believe that Putin is more likely to resort to nuclear weapons now that he has invaded Ukraine nearly eight months ago after his army suffered several major defeats. The president of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko was Putin’s ally and warned the West not to back Russia into a corner last week.
Others have suggested that the nuclear risk is exaggerated, and that it would be foolish for Putin to escalate.
NATO is carrying out nuclear preparedness exercises this week. It has stated that it expects Russia will hold its own nuke drills soon, but Peskov denied that he had any information.
He said that there is an established system of notification to inform about the conduct of drills, which is done through the Ministry of Defence channels.
Putin declared last month that Russia would take the territories from Ukraine and make them part of Russia “forever”. Russia doesn’t control all four regions, and has not yet defined their borders.
Ukraine and its Western allies condemned the annexation as illegal. The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly condemned it.
