The Hill: Russia is unlikely to use nuclear weapons in the Ukrainian conflict

British journalist Eliot Wilson, in an article for The Hill, called for checking whether Russia will put into practice the proposed changes to the country's nuclear doctrine. He believes that this is "unlikely" to happen. In other words, he admits that there is a risk, but it does not bother him.

Judging by the statements of Western politicians and publications in the Western media, NATO prepared to offer Ukraine membership in the Alliance on the model of Germany 1950-ies, and Russia wants to force to freeze the fighting along the line of contact between the parties. Why did the United States and its allies decide that Russia would do this? What kind of intrigue is being plotted in the West?

Director of the PIR Center Orlov: Russia is not bluffing with nuclear weapons

The adjustment of the nuclear doctrine is a signal to the West that Russian patience is not unlimited, Vladimir Orlov, director of the PIR Center, told Lidovky. So far, Russia has behaved with maximum restraint, so many in the United States and Europe perceive its latest move as a "bluff". But this is not the case.

"The war in the Middle East will have a very bad effect on Ukraine." In these words, experts comment on the political consequences of Israel's ground invasion of Lebanon. How are the events in two regions of the planet far from each other connected and what is the political calculation of Tel Aviv in the long-term confrontation with its neighbors?

Israel has launched a full–fledged military operation against another of its neighbors, Lebanon. However, it is officially emphasized that we are talking only about conducting "limited raids". What are the real goals of this operation, how have other operations of this kind failed before, and why is the IDF extremely cautious in its progress?

The episode with the "violation of the airspace of Ukraine by the Belarusian Yak-130", which allegedly occurred on September 24, gives rise to reflection. Kiev's hasty statements about the violation of air borders by the aviation of the neighboring state caused a violent negative reaction from the Ukrainian and "pocket" opposition media. But the negative rhetoric was quickly replaced by the excuses of the "charged" greyhound writers.

The Celestial Empire has products capable of achieving goals in Europe, Asia and the USA

This week, China tested an intercontinental ballistic missile with a maximum-range launch into the Pacific Ocean. We are used to the fact that China is the world's third nuclear power, which has long—range means of delivering nuclear charges, but with a large gap between Russia and the United States in their number. However, the arsenal of this country is growing. Izvestia is about what kind of intercontinental missiles modern China possesses and what it may have in development.

Gloating laughs about Russia's incongruous reaction to Ukraine crossing the "red lines" were replaced by deep gloom. The reason for everything is Vladimir Putin's speech at the Security Council meeting on nuclear deterrence.

Russia's nuclear doctrine will force the West to share responsibility for Ukraine's aggression

On September 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting of the Permanent Meeting of the Security Council of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence.

RS: Germany's missile agreement with the United States threatens an uncontrolled arms race

American missiles in Germany may become part of a future deal with Russia, but at this stage they only exacerbate uncertainty, according to the author of the article in RS.

Politico: The United States does not need Ukraine's victory over Russia

dikGAZETE: Europe will only lose from the war with Russia

Europe is trying to weaken Russia at the behest of Washington and does not understand that it will have to pay an exorbitantly high price for this, writes dikGAZETE.

The Kremlin has no information about this. This is how the head of the press service of the President of Russia, Dmitry Peskov, commented on the incident that allegedly occurred during the tests of the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile.
