Any use of nuclear weapons against Russia or its allies will be considered by our country as a nuclear attack. This in a speech before the Federal Assembly said Vladimir Putin.

The answer to this, in his words, will be instant:.

"Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons only in response to the use of nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction against it or its allies. Therefore, any use of nuclear weapons against the Russian Federation or its allies with any acceptable capacity will be considered as a nuclear attack on our country. The answer will be instantaneous ».

The message of Vladimir Putin lasted about two hours.
