Moscow is not threatening to attack with nuclear weapons in any way
The use of nuclear weapons in self-defense is possible as part of an attack response and only in an emergency

Moscow: Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Friday that Moscow was not threatening to strike with nuclear weapons. Indeed, some top Russian leaders had threatened a nuclear attack against Ukraine. However, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has denied the use of nuclear weapons from the beginning. He said that the possibility of using nuclear weapons in Ukraine is a conspiracy against Russia. The ministry also said that Russia is not interested in a direct confrontation with NATO and the US.
President Putim said he was not deceiving anyone in any way. If Russia is threatened from anywhere, it will use its nuclear weapons only in emergency situations. Russia has the option of using nuclear weapons. Russian military doctrine allows a nuclear reaction in response to threats of mass destruction only when the existence of the state is threatened. Of course, the use of nuclear weapons in self-defense is possible as part of an attack response and only in an emergency.

Did the soldiers in the Russian army decrease? Why are people leaving the country after mobilization?

How many nuclear weapons does Russia have?

According to the Federation of American Scientists, Russia has 5977 nuclear weapons worldwide. Of these 1500 are about to perish due to this flood and they will be destroyed soon. Russia also has 4,500 tactical nuclear warheads, which can strike long distances. The remaining weapons are much smaller and less destructive, which can be used against short-range targets from land or water.
