Peskov: Russia would use nuclear weapons if 'threat to the existence of the state'
A Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has stated that Russia would use nuclear weapons only when there is a 'threat to the existence of the state'.
''Peskov told PBS in an interview on Monday that Russia would resort to nuclear weapons only in the case of a 'threat to the existence' of his country - and not as a result of the current conflict with Ukraine,'' Reuters is reporting.
"But any outcome of the operation (in Ukraine), of course, is not a reason for the usage of a nuclear weapon," Peskov said.
"We have a security concept that very clearly states that only when there is a threat for the existence of the state, in our country, we can use and we will actually use nuclear weapons to eliminate the threat for the existence of our country."
