Russia is being urged to clearly state its willingness to use nuclear weapons against countries that support Ukraine, with a former Kremlin advisor claiming it can launch a strike on a NATO country without sparking Armageddon. Sergei Karaganov, the head of the Russian Council for Foreign and Defense Policy, made the bold comment to Kommersant newspaper while pressing President Vladimir Putin to adopt a more assertive nuclear posture towards the West.
Karaganov (pictured with Putin), suggested in Wednesday’s interview that Moscow should consider a limited nuclear strike on a NATO country to signal its readiness to escalate if necessary, without provoking a full-scale conflict. He said the primary goal of Russia’s nuclear doctrine ‘should be to ensure that all current and future enemies are sure that Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons’.
