On September 25, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin proposed discussing updating the state nuclear deterrence policy at a Russian Security Council meeting.
The nuclear policy adjustment is a reciprocal response to the position of Russia's opponents, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"An official statement is an official statement. Especially when it is made at such a high, or even the highest level. And, of course, we build our understanding of the approaches of our vis-a-vis or our partners or our adversaries, enemies, precisely based on these official statements. So, yes, this is an absolute mirror of their position," Peskov said.
