VIDEO: Peskov Says When Russia Would Use Nuclear Weapons

Russia is committed to its doctrine regarding nuclear weapons, where it is described as a "weapon of last resort." It would only be used in the event of a threat to the existence of the country. This was stated by Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian President.

“As for us, everything related to nuclear weapons is outlined in the relevant doctrine. And again, if you move away from legal language, it is described there as a ‘weapon of last resort.’ If something threatens the existence of our country, then—nuclear weapons. In addition, one cannot speak irresponsibly about this in any way. And I am convinced of this,” he said.
