MOSCOW, January 27 - RIA Novosti. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev believes that there is no need to revise the nuclear doctrine, since the document is a comprehensive formula that allows solving a variety of tasks.
"As for the revision of the nuclear doctrine, it is, in fact, public. I don't think there's any need for that. Why? Because everything is fixed there anyway. We have the right to respond with the use of our country's strategic nuclear forces if a nuclear strike or a strike using weapons of mass destruction is inflicted on our country or our allies, or if our country is threatened by another danger that is aimed simply at its existence," Medvedev said in an interview with leading Russian media, including RIA Novosti.
"This is a comprehensive formula that allows us to solve a variety of tasks," Medvedev added.
