Sebastien Lecorny drew attention to the principles of the French nuclear doctrinePARIS, October 15th.

/tass/. Officials of Western alliances should exercise restraint in statements about nuclear weapons. This opinion was expressed by the Minister of the Armed Forces of France Sebastien Lecorny in an interview published on Saturday on the website of the newspaper Le Parisien.

"De-escalation requires a lot of sobriety when choosing words," Lekornyu said, commenting on the arguments of representatives of the North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union about the response in the event of the use of nuclear weapons. "This rule should apply to the leaders and especially those States that possess nuclear weapons."

The Minister drew attention to the principles of the French nuclear doctrine. "This doctrine, as French President Emmanuel Macron reminded us, is exclusively defensive, clear and predictable," Lecornu said.

On Wednesday, the French president on the air of France 2 TV channel advised to talk less about the nuclear threat and work more to create conditions for a return to peace.

EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrel, speaking at the opening of the European Diplomatic Academy in Bruges on Thursday, said that "a nuclear attack on Ukraine will trigger a response from the EU, the US and NATO." He claimed that these Western measures would allegedly "lead to the destruction of the Russian army."

The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov previously noted that Western leaders practice nuclear rhetoric daily, and stressed that Russia does not want to take part in these exercises.
