MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia's strategic nuclear forces are in a state of full readiness, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.
Russian strategic nuclear forces are purely defensive by nature, aimed at deterring possible full-scale attacks on the nation that might threaten its existence. Russia vows to never use nuclear arms for any other reasons, apart from specified in its strategic documents often called its "nuclear doctrine."
"Strategic nuclear forces are in a state of full readiness for guaranteed use. Everything we planned in the armament sector, which I spoke about in the 2018 address, is done or this work is being completed," Putin said in an annual address to the Federal Assembly.
