France did not take the nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation seriously / ScreenshotFrance was not afraid of the changes in the nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation, which were announced by Putin the day before. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the country, Jean-Noel Barro.“This is just rhetoric. We will not allow ourselves to be intimidated by these threats,” the minister commented on Cnews. He noted that Putin has been using nuclear blackmail “for the last two and a half years to worry” NATO countries. According to him, the change in the nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation was also not a surprise, because it was announced.
Barro repeated French President Emmanuel Macron’s appeal to Putin to return “to common sense.”
Barro added that the approval of strikes by Western long-range missiles against the Russian Federation cannot be perceived as NATO aggression, since the Kremlin itself provoked this escalation by involving the North Korean military.
At the same time, the head of the French Foreign Ministry expressed the opinion that the current situation will not prevent the start of peace negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
The new nuclear doctrine of the Russian FederationYesterday, Putin approved the updated nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation. Observers consider this decision a response to Kyiv’s first use of long-range Western missiles on Russian territory.
