This is the message that the vice president of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev launches in an interview with the main Russian media and relaunched in particular by the RIA Novosti agency.

Ryabkov reiterates that Moscow does not deviate “from the fundamental provisions envisaged by the doctrine”. According to the deputy minister, states that do not have nuclear weapons and in particular those not aligned with the United States, should “more forcefully call to order the politicians in Western capitals, including Washington: they have absolutely lost their sense of reality”.
