The adjustments that are supposed to be made to Russia's nuclear doctrine have been practically formulated, but have not yet been documented, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS.

"(Adjustments to the nuclear doctrine) have not yet been formalized. They have already been practically formulated. They will be formalized as necessary," the Kremlin spokesman said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the parameters for adjusting the nuclear doctrine on September 25 at a meeting of the permanent meeting of the Security Council on nuclear deterrence. In particular, according to the Russian leader, "the category of states and military alliances against which nuclear deterrence is carried out has been expanded."

Several other clarifications are also expected. Russia will consider aggression by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, as their joint attack. A massive launch towards the Russian Federation of strategic and tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, hypersonic and other aircraft and their crossing of the Russian border will be the basis for the use of nuclear weapons. Aggression against Belarus as an ally of Russia can also lead to a nuclear strike.
