“Russia has a doctrine for the use of nuclear weapons,” Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held a press conference after his address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, USA.
Making statements about the processes operating in the Donbas region of Ukraine, Lavrov reminded that Westerners were allowed to hold a press conference at the UN despite the ongoing referendum reaction in Donbas.
“The terms of the referendums have been published”
According to the news of İHA; Lavrov said that the referendums were held with the decisions of local governments. “Today, I would like to comment with ‘permission granted’ to respond to the statements made by London, Brussels, Washington and some Western capitals regarding the ongoing referendums in Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhia. The hysteria we observed is very revealing. Referendums are held on the basis of decisions of local governments. “The terms of these referendums have been published. As a result of their actions, Russia will respect the will of the people who have suffered for years from the brutality of the Neo-Nazi regime.” said.
“It is clearly written when and how we will use nuclear weapons”
Lavrov also spoke about the fact that the Westerners provided arms support to Kiev during the partial mobilization announcement of Russian President Vladimir Putin, “You know, lynching culture is quite fashionable these days. It is actively used by our Western colleagues not only in relation to certain countries, politicians, personalities, but also in relation to historical events. For example, in 2014, our Western colleagues also announced the annexation of Crimea. They couldn’t accept it and asked why we did it. Let me remind you again how it all started. Many people died during a coup. Despite the guarantees of Germany, France and Poland, the putschists seized the administrative buildings, started chasing the president of the period. They wanted to chase him down. The putschists wanted to catch him. After that he demanded that the Russians leave Crimea and that the Russian language’s status in the region be abolished. Armed groups went to the peninsula to storm the parliament. But later the Crimeans reacted with their referendums. Zelensky in his speeches even before the start of the special military operation, the collapse of the Soviet Union for Ukraine during the nuclear He stated that the rejection of private weapons was a big mistake. Immediately after the start of special military operations, French Foreign Minister Le Drian declared that Russia should remember that France also has its own nuclear weapons. We haven’t heard anything about this issue. You all know how Miss Truss answered a journalist’s question about whether it would be scary to press the ‘red button’. As for Russia, President Vladimir Putin and other representatives of the Kremlin have repeatedly talked about it. Our country has a doctrine ‘On the Foundations of State Policy of the Russian Federation in the Field of Nuclear Deterrence’. This is an open document, everything is written in it. I invite you to take another look at the situations in which we consent to the use of nuclear weapons.” he said.
“Our country’s lands are under full protection”
Lavrov also answered the question about whether to resort to nuclear weapons for threats of attack that may occur after the annexation of some lands in eastern Ukraine to Russia after the referendum, “Now I won’t bother with pessimistic predictions. The entire territory of Russia, which is included in the constitution of our country and can also be included, is, of course, under the full protection of the state. It is absolutely natural. All laws, doctrines, concepts and strategies of the Russian Federation are valid for all regions. The USA has a direction in this direction. I didn’t hear the threat. I know President Joe Biden said that if the referendums are held and the results are accepted, Russia will face more sanctions. As for the legal aspect of the West’s involvement in this war, those who follow the situation more or less see what’s going on. Ukraine is clearly full of weapons. Moreover, Zelensky requests weapons from either Germany or Israel on a daily basis. At the same time, he criticizes Israel for not providing the amount of weapons demanded by Ukraine. Kyiv intelligence information is provided by data from satellites.” said.
“Western countries have shown once again that they are directly involved in the conflict”
Despite this, Lavrov stated that some of the support given to Ukraine by Western countries means a violation of international law. “From a legal point of view, the US, NATO members and the European Union say they are not parties to the conflict. Ukrainian embassies and consulates-generals in Europe and other countries openly post on their websites an invitation to join the ‘holy war’ against Russia, that is, engage in direct mercenary work. You all know that they are. I have already mentioned that 200 private satellites, including used the phrases.
