– From a military point of view, there is no need to use nuclear weapons to achieve our strategic goals in Ukraine. The main goal of Russian nuclear weapons is to stop a nuclear attack – He said Sergei Shoiguquoted by Reuters in a speech at an international security conference in Moscow.
So far, Russia has resorted to nuclear threats to improve its negotiating position and arouse fear in Western societies.
The rest of the article below the video:
Shoygu described speculation about Russia’s deployment of chemical or nuclear weapons in Ukraine as an “absolute lie”. For several days now, Ukraine has warned that the Russians want to use the nuclear power plant in Zaporozhye they have occupied to provoke another nuclear disaster.
The minister also referred to a possible extension of the “New START” treaty on the reduction of nuclear weapons. A few days ago, the Russians refused the Americans to conduct an inspection under the agreement that was in force until 2026. Nevertheless, in his opinion, Moscow “is delivering on its assumptions”.
During his speech, Shoygu mentioned Russia-friendly countries, including mainly African countries such as Cameroon, Burundi, Guinea, Mali, Sudan, Uganda, Chad, Ethiopia and South Africa.
