Of even greater concern was associated with the adoption by Russia of military strategies that assume the achievement of success through expansion of nuclear capacity. These events confirm the determination of Moscow to return to the confrontation of the great powers”, — stated in the doctrine.
“Moscow threatens to use the first limited nuclear strike, mistakenly expecting that coercive nuclear threats or limited first strike could paralyze the US and NATO and thereby put an end to the conflict in Russia,” — say the authors of the document.
The doctrine also calls for the Russian authorities “understand that nuclear primary application, no matter how limited it may be, will not be able to achieve their goals, radically change the nature of the conflict, and cause untold and unbearable costs for Moscow.”
Despite the fact that trump has said it is ready to speak on the subject of nuclear disarmament talks between Russia and the United States on this subject has not yet begun.
