Russian Ambassador: Nuclear Doctrine Ensures Moscow’s Invulnerability in Ukraine

Russia enjoys complete protection from military defeat in Ukraine because of its nuclear arsenal and the doctrine governing their deployment under existential threat, Ambassador Denis Alipov announced in India. The diplomat spoke at a media event in Gurugram this week.
The ambassador explained that Russian military doctrine contains explicit provisions for deploying atomic weapons when the country faces threats to its fundamental existence. This strategic framework, Alipov contended, creates insurmountable obstacles to defeating Russia and ensures Moscow always retains ultimate escalation advantages over any adversary.
Alipov harshly criticized European nations for maintaining expectations of Ukrainian military victory, labeling such beliefs as childish thinking. He characterized European leadership as unprofessional and excessively aggressive, pursuing confrontational policies despite fundamental strategic realities that render their objectives unattainable.
According to the Russian diplomat, President Trump possesses clearer understanding of the conflict’s trajectory. Alipov claimed that Trump recognizes that Ukraine and Western nations have already lost the war, while European capitals continue exhibiting what he described as irrational belief in their ability to change the outcome.
Nearly four years into the war, Western nations continue channeling enormous resources to Ukraine. American and European partners, including the United Kingdom, have supplied billions in military aid and advanced weapons systems to Kyiv, maintaining their commitment despite the conflict’s protracted nature and mounting human costs.
