What is Russia's military doctrine for deploying tactical nuclear weapons? | DW News

Earlier this month, Russia announced that it had plans to carry out tactical nuclear weapons exercises near the Ukrainian border. On Tuesday, Russia’s military began these drills in the Southern Military District for the first time since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The Kremlin says the exercises are in response to Western military officials threatening deeper involvement in the war in Ukraine.

Zelensky selected 38 people - Azovites - and is ready to pick up only them. The rest of the soldiers of Ukraine - Ukraine is not needed, ”she wrote. The journalist clarified that in her lists of name and dates of the birth of prisoners of the military. She promised to completely publish them in the evening. “I think that wives, mothers and in general Ukrainian citizens will be interested in getting acquainted,” she wrote. As Tatyana Moskalkova, the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia, indicated, the process of exchanging prisoners of war with the Ukrainian side is delayed due to the double standards of Kyiv, which delete from lists to exchange ordinary and sergeants, and many fighters deliberately write down among the missing ones. She noted that during exchanging, Ukraine, as a rule, prefers media people, and ordinary military personnel are of little interest to the authorities of a neighboring country.

Ukraine/Gross domestic product (2021) 199.8 billion USD (2021) In addition to the aid provided by the USA, other Western states also provide aid to Ukraine. It is estimated that the total amount of Western aid provided directly to Ukraine in the last year exceeded 150 billion dollars. Almost all of this aid consists of military equipment and ammunition. At current prices, the defense expenditure of the USA in 2022 is 821 billion dollars, followed by the UK with 67.7 billion dollars, Germany with 60.9 billion dollars, France with 52.4 billion dollars, Italy with 30.4 billion dollars and 28.1 billion dollars. Canada followed with dollar. UK Germany France Italy total ammount 67 + 60 + 52 + 30 = around 210 billiom dollars but Ukraine is asking nato soldiers now.

I love how all experts say, Ruzzia will NEVER use nuclear weapons unless they lose the war in Ukraine. Well, the whole point of helping Ukraine is to kick Ruzzia out of its borders. This means, Ruzzia will lose the war. Which means Ruzzia will use nuclear weans. So, the statement should say: Ruzzia WILL use tactical weapons because they are losing the war. Right? LIKE WTF?!

[@gordonprice695]

No, Ukraine is NOT losing. Why? Because for Ukraine to be losing Russia must be winning, and the Russian definition of winning is removing Ukraine as a nation and an identity from the face of the earth, in Putin's lifetime. And at the current pace, Russia will need 100 years to do that. So the correct thing to say is NEITHER is winning, and that means Ukraine is suffering, and suffering needlessly. We in the West need to change that. But we don't do that by being surrender monkeys. Especially not when the people doing the actual fighting are no where near surrender.

@@imoran9228 We have to ask ourselves the question: "How will using nukes help russia to win the war?" The answer we find is that it won't. But it will lead to russia losing a lot of political support from the rest of the world. And probably have all their military assets in Ukraine destroyed in a few days, or their entire Baltic Sea fleet sunk, or something the like. So all in all it can only be bad for russia, not good. So they won't use them. Their value is when they talk about them and some people get afraid, not understanding that they won't use them.

[@gadflyeye]

The reply to Russia is simple: the West gives a small number of "tactical" nuclear weapons to Ukraine, trains Ukrainians on how to use them, and announces that it relinquishes the trigger-pulling decision to Ukraine, ON CONDITION that such weapons can only be used if Russia uses them first. Ukraine has shown full respect on Western restrictions so far, so it's expected it would do the same with this rule as well.
