RUSSIA TO INCREASE ITS MILITARY BUDGET BY ANOTHER 127 BILLION, SAYS ANY BALLISTIC MISSILE AGAINST RUSSIA, BELARUS WILL BE CONSIDERED A POTENTIAL NUCLEAR THREAT PROMOTING A NUCLEAR RESPONSE

 From media

Russia has announced that it will increase its defense budget for next year by more than a quarter, bringing it to 127 billion euros. This proposal, according to the Bloomberg news agency, is equivalent to 6.2% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).

But certainly the most commented news on the social sphere is the one according to which Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against Belarus, according to the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin himself.

Some principles of the “Fundamentals of the State Policy of the Russian Federation in the Field of Nuclear Deterrence” have been updated: “The conditions that determine the possibility of the Russian Federation using nuclear weapons are: receipt of reliable information about the launch of ballistic missiles attacking the territories of the Russian Federation and (or) its allies; on the Russian side on this point it was clarified that: “we will consider the possibility of a nuclear strike once we receive reliable information about a massive launch of aerospace strike weapons and their crossing of our state border. We are talking about strategic and tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, UAVs, hypersonic aircraft and other aircraft”.
