Russia stated that preventing a conflict between nuclear-armed nations should be the top concern for the entire world since it may have “catastrophic consequences.”
The Foreign Ministry stated, “We are strongly persuaded that the top priority in the current tough and turbulent scenario is to avert any military conflict of nuclear powers. This situation is a result of irresponsible and shameless measures aimed at undermining our national security.
The Foreign Ministry’s remark came amid growing concerns that nuclear weapons could be used in the protracted conflict in Ukraine, which is now in its ninth month.
The statement stated that “Russia rigidly and continuously adheres to the principle that a nuclear war cannot be won and should never be fought.”
The Kremlin is only permitted to use nuclear weapons in the event of nuclear invasion or “when the very existence of our state is threatened,” according to Moscow’s nuclear doctrine, which is described as “purely defensive in nature.”
Russia has consistently asserted that its nuclear strategy protects the Ukrainian territory it claims to have annexed.
The United States, Britain, France, and China were urged to “operate together to address this important challenge,” together with all other nuclear-armed nations in the world.
