RUSSIA: Kremlin-Putin To Speak @ Sec Council On Nuclear Deterrence

RUSSIA
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletCEEMEARussiaBulletGlobalEmerging Market NewsRegion

Wires carrying comments from Kremlin spox Dmitri Peskov. Peskov says that President Vladimir Putin will chair a meeting of the Security Council today (25 Sep) on the subject of nuclear deterrence. The Russian gov't has previously stated that it is revising its nuclear doctrine, which determines how and when Moscow would use such weapons on the battlefield. Putin will deliver an address at the Council, but the remainder will be behind closed doors. No timing for the meeting has been publicised yet. 

  • Moscow has said that the Ukrainian incursion into the Kursk region, and NATO support for Kyiv that equates to involvement in the war means a change in the doctrine could be required. A number of similar threats have been made during the war to date, but any concrete change in the doctrine would certainly raise concerns in Kyiv and the West of the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
  • Regarding Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's address to the UN General Assembly's plenary session, in which he said that Russia should be "forced" into peace based on the UN Charter, Peskov says that 'it is impossible to force Russia into peace', adding 'this is a profound misconception that will inevitably have consequences for Kyiv', calling the position 'a fatal error'.
  • On the Chinese ICBM test in the Pacific (see 'CHINA-JAPAN: Japan Cab Sec Calls ICBM Test 'A Matter Of Serious Concern' 0903BST), Peskov says 'this is China's sovereign right, we respect it and of course information is exchanged'.
