State Duma Defense Committee Chairman Andrey Kartapolov has sent a chilling message about the recent escalations in Ukraine, and the importance of Russia’s new nuclear doctrine, during an interview on Rossiya-1 television on Nov. 25.
“Our revamped nuclear doctrine, in its second chapter, clearly states that the main goal of nuclear deterrence is for adversaries to realize the inevitability of consequences for making any decisions to start aggression against the Russian Federation and/or its allies, the inevitability of retaliation. Oreshnik now has shown the inevitability of such retaliation,” he told Rossiya-1 television.
“There is nothing that will stop this missile,” TASS quoted him as saying.
