Russia can use nuclear weapons in four cases, said Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, ex-President Dmitry Medvedev.
Yes, the Russian Federation can use nuclear weapons if an attack using nuclear weapons is carried out on its territory.
Also, in the case of any second use of nuclear weapons, not only against Russia, but also against its allies.
Another reason Medvedev called the encroachment on critical infrastructure, as a result of which Russian nuclear deterrent forces will be paralyzed.
In addition, the Russian Federation will use nuclear weapons in response to an act of aggression, as a result of which the existence of the country would be threatened.
Earlier, the deputy ambassador of Russia to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, declared his readiness to use nuclear weapons if the country is "provoked by NATO."
