Peskov called the arguments about the use of nuclear weapons after the blowing up of the Crimean bridge “incorrect formulation of the question”

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov called the arguments about whether the explosion on the Crimean bridge falls under the possibility of using the nuclear doctrine “a completely wrong formulation of the question.” Earlier today Vladimir Putin declaredthat the authors, performers and customers of the undermining of the Crimean bridge are the special services of Ukraine. According to him, the attack was aimed at destroying critical civilian infrastructure.

“Not. This is a completely wrong statement of the question,” said Mr. Peskov. So he answered the question of RIA Novosti, whether the recognition of the undermining of the Crimean bridge as a terrorist attack aimed at destroying critical civilian infrastructure, the opportunity to use nuclear potential in accordance with nuclear doctrine.

In June 2020, the President signed a decree “On the fundamentals of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of nuclear deterrence.” Paragraph 19 lists the conditions under which the use of nuclear weapons is permissible. Among them, the point is the impact of the enemy on critical state or military facilities, the failure of which will lead to the disruption of retaliatory actions of nuclear forces.
