MOSCOW, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- Any potential changes to Russia's nuclear doctrine will serve as a warning to Western countries, local media reported Thursday, citing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
During a Security Council meeting on nuclear deterrence Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the country reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression.
"This is a signal that serves as a warning to these countries about the consequences of engaging in an attack on our country through various means, not necessarily nuclear," Peskov said.
Peskov added that Russia's nuclear deterrence policies are currently being adjusted to reflect the increasing tensions along the country's borders. ■
