Peskov also stressed that any attack on Russia by a non-nuclear state with the participation of a nuclear state would be considered a joint attack. “Russia has always viewed nuclear weapons as a deterrent, the use of which is an extreme, forced measure,” Peskov said. He added that Russia’s military was closely monitoring any potential Ukrainian attacks with western long-range weapons.
Moscow on Monday pledged an “appropriate and palpable” response following Joe Biden’s approval for Kyiv to use US long-range missiles for strikes within Russia.More threats against the west were issued in Moscow on Tuesday. The former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev stated that the use of western-supplied missiles against Russia would be regarded as an attack by Nato bloc countries.
