Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said nuclear weapons were ready for Russia to use if their existence was threatened. According to him, it is Moscow’s security policy.
“If it is an existential threat to our country, then it (nuclear weapons) can be used according to our concept,” he said.
On the other hand, he spoke to the news agency TASS about the development of the war in Ukraine. According to him, no one ever thought the operation in Ukraine would take only a few days. In fact, the war has been running even a month on Thursday (24/3/2022).
