Stoltenberg: NATO is discussing putting nuclear warheads on alert
NATO is discussing putting nuclear warheads on alert. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg spoke about such a topic for conversations between the member countries of the alliance in a conversation with the British Daily Telegraph.
“I will not go into operational detail about how many nuclear warheads should be on alert… but we need to consult on these issues,” Stoltenberg said.
It was previously reported that some foreign officials are concerned about Russia’s possible nuclear response to the actions of the West, namely in connection with the permission to use weapons transferred to Ukraine to strike Russian territory. The material clarifies that Russian military doctrine allegedly provides for the prompt use of nuclear weapons in the event of a direct conflict with NATO.
