The new Russian strategy paper on the use of nuclear weapons would be very useful, as it will make clear to other states what steps Moscow will not forgive them. So experts rated the initiative to develop a modern edition of the "Fundamentals of the Russian Federation policy in the field of nuclear deterrence". On the eve of the relevant recommendation agreed in the Federation Council at a joint meeting of senators, representatives of the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff and the Security Council of the Russian Federation. After the speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Valdai club in October of this year, foreigners became nervous. The head of the Kremlin then declared that Russia was not considering the possibility of a preemptive nuclear strike, but the aggressor should know that in the event of an attack it would be destroyed.. As a result, speculations emerged on whether the Russian Federation would not use nuclear weapons in response to a non-nuclear strategic attack or the use of hypersonic weapons.. The new document will present a plan for what and in what cases the Russian Federation will do, said Olga Oliker, director of the Russian and Eurasian programs at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "It sends a signal to opponents and potential adversaries that certain actions on their part will lead Russia to use (nuclear weapons). The goal is that these actions are not taken as a result, and the enemy is stopped, and Russia would not have to react, "Oliker commented on the idea in an interview with RIA Novosti. This will save interstate relations from ambiguity, which is useful..

According to the researcher at the Center for International Security at Stanford University, Christina Veen Bruusgaard, everything is clearly and clearly defined in the current Russian military doctrine.. However, additional clarifications do not interfere: there is some confusion in the West, so it will be good if Russia further specifies the conditions under which it will be ready to use nuclear weapons. Earlier, the president’s words about a nuclear strike were explained by his press secretary, Dmitry Peskov..
