This was stated by the White House National Security Council, Reuters reports.
Washington noted that it is not surprised by Moscow’s update to its nuclear doctrine.
"As we said earlier this month, we were not surprised by Russia’s announcement that it would update its nuclear doctrine; Russia had been signaling its intent to update its doctrine for several weeks," the White House emphasized.
At the same time, the United States sees no reason to adjust its own nuclear deterrence policy.
"Observing no changes to Russia’s nuclear posture, we have not seen any reason to adjust our own nuclear posture or doctrine in response to Russia’s statements today," the statement said.
- On November 19, Russian leader Vladimir Putin officially approved a new nuclear doctrine, according to which the president can decide on the use of nuclear weapons.
