Blinken Condemns Putin's Statement on Changes to Russia's Nuclear Doctrine.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken sharply criticized the recent statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding changes to Russia's nuclear doctrine, calling it "absolutely irresponsible".

In an interview with MSNBC on Thursday, Blinken expressed his concern: "I think many around the world have been clear about this when he previously spoke about nuclear weapons, including China."

The Secretary of State emphasized the need to declare the inadmissibility of such nuclear rhetoric, especially at a time when the General Assembly of the United Nations is taking place in New York, where the issue of further disarmament and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons is being discussed.

Let us remind you that earlier, Putin announced plans to make changes to Russia's nuclear doctrine that would expand the grounds for the use of nuclear weapons. In particular, he mentioned the possibility of a nuclear strike in response to the use of conventional weapons in a "critical situation" for Russia, without specifying what exactly is meant by this term.

Blinken also commented on Zelensky's "victory plan" and the continued support for Ukraine.
