Moscow. Russia has now started the work of formulating a new military strategy to defend itself from a possible US attack. A magazine of the Russian Defense Ministry says that Moscow is developing a new kind of military strategy using nuclear weapons to defend against a possible US attack. This article is the latest in a series of attacking comments from Russian politicians and commentators following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February last year. Which is being linked to the rhetoric after US President Joe Biden’s visit to Ukraine.
According to the report of Russia’s news agency RIA, an article published in the magazine Voennaya Mysl (Military Thought) says that Washington is worried about the possibility of losing the current dominance over the world. In order to weaken Russia, the US had apparently planned to attack it. Therefore, if necessary, Moscow should make a new plan about its deployment to use its huge stockpile of nuclear weapons. Keeping in mind the modern military technology, Russia has to continue the development of offensive and defensive nuclear and non-nuclear weapons. The article states that Moscow needs to be able to prove to the United States that it cannot defeat Russia’s nuclear missile system and that the United States will not be able to stop its retaliatory strike.

However, Russia’s Defense Ministry did not immediately respond to a question asked to confirm the RIA report. Russian President Vladimir Putin last week suspended a historic nuclear arms control treaty. He has threatened to resume nuclear tests. Moscow says it will only use nuclear weapons if Russia’s territorial integrity is threatened. Whereas Putin’s allies have continuously claimed that nuclear crisis may come in the near future. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said this week that the continuous supply of weapons to Kiev from Western countries has increased the risk of a nuclear war on Ukraine, which could prove to be a global catastrophe.
