Russia does not plan to use nuclear weapons against Europe, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, APA reports.
According to him, Russia’s doctrinal documents clearly define the conditions for the use of nuclear weapons, and the main objective is to protect the country’s territorial integrity.
Peskov said that if NATO is not planning any action against Russia, there is no reason for the alliance to be concerned.
He also stressed that Russia’s warnings about the use of nuclear weapons in connection with a possible blockade of Kaliningrad should not be perceived as a “confrontational statement.”
