@RusEmbMalta Press release:
Excerpts from the Basic Principles of State Policy of the Russian Federation on #Nuclear Deterrence, approved on November 19, 2024 by Russia's President Vladimir Putin
General Provisions:
1. The present Basic Principles are a strategic planning document in the defence sphere and reflect the official views on the essence of nuclear deterrence; they define military dangers and threats, whose neutralisation is the aim of nuclear deterrence, as well as the principles of nuclear deterrence and the conditions under which the Russian Federation will transition to using nuclear weapons.
2. The assured deterrence of a potential adversary from launching an aggression against the Russian Federation and/or its allies ranks among the top state priorities. Deterring an aggression shall be ensured by the entire combined military power of the Russian Federation, including its nuclear weapons.
<...>
The essence of nuclear deterrence
9. The Russian Federation exercises nuclear deterrence with regard to a potential adversary understood as individual states and military coalitions (blocs, alliances), which regard the Russian Federation as a potential adversary and possess nuclear and/or other types of mass destruction weapons, or a considerable combat potential in the shape of general-purpose forces.
Nuclear deterrence is also exercised with regard to states which provide the territory, airspace and/or maritime space under their control, as well as resources, for preparing and carrying out an aggression against the Russian Federation.
10. An aggression by any state member of a military coalition (bloc, alliance) against the Russian Federation and/or its allies shall be considered as an aggression by this coalition (bloc, alliance) as a whole.
11. An aggression against the Russian Federation and/or its allies by any non-nuclear state with the participation of or support from a nuclear state shall be considered as their joint assault.
<...>
Conditions for the Russian Federation’s transition to the employment of nuclear weapons
18. The Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in response to nuclear and/or other types of mass destruction weapons being used against it and/or its allies, as well as in the case of an aggression with the use of conventional weapons against the Russian Federation and/or the Republic of Belarus as a member of the Union State, an aggression creating a critical threat to their sovereignty and/or territorial integrity.
19. The conditions determining the possibility of nuclear employment by the Russian Federation are as follows:
a) arrival of reliable information on the launch of ballistic missiles attacking the territories of the Russian Federation and/or its allies;
b) an adversary’s use of nuclear or other types of mass destruction weapons against the territories of the Russian Federation and/or its allies, military units and/or facilities of the Russian Federation, located outside of its territory;
c) an adversary’s attack on critically important state or military facilities of the Russian Federation, whose incapacitation will lead to the disruption of retaliatory actions by the nuclear forces;
d) aggression against the Russian Federation and/or the Republic of Belarus as a member of the Union State with the use of conventional weapons, which creates a critical threat to their sovereignty and/or territorial integrity;
e) arrival of reliable information about a massed launch (takeoff) of aerospace assault weapons (strategic and tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, and unpiloted, hypersonic or other air vehicles) and their crossing of the state border of the Russian Federation.
20. The decision on using nuclear weapons shall be taken by the President of the Russian Federation. <...>
