according to a report by tass on september 1, russian deputy foreign minister sergei ryabkov said that russia will review and analyze the actions of the west in the latest conflicts and special military operations, and will revise its nuclear policy on this basis. he also said, "this work has entered an advanced stage, and we have a clear intention to revise our nuclear policy."

according to tass, ryabkov explained that the relevant documents were being finalized, but it was too early to talk about the specific time of release. "considering that we are talking about the most important area of ​​national security, the completion schedule is a rather complicated issue."

the report mentioned that russian president vladimir putin said earlier that russia's nuclear policy could be modified if necessary. at the same time, he also stressed that moscow believes that a "nuclear exchange" (the mutual use of nuclear weapons) will never happen.

according to tass, ryabkov had previously stated that due to the actions of the united states and its allies, the diplomatic situation has seriously escalated, and moscow is constantly analyzing the performance of its nuclear deterrence documents in responding to these challenges. the report mentioned that according to the russian basic national policy of nuclear deterrence, which was approved and implemented in 2020, russia regards nuclear weapons as a means of deterrence and can only be used when it is absolutely necessary. the document said that russia can use nuclear weapons when reliable information is obtained about the launch of ballistic missiles at the territory of russia or its allies, or when the enemy uses nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction to attack the territory of russia or its allies.
