MOSCOW, Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Russia's new military policy won't rule out preventive nuclear attacks against possible aggressors, the Russian Security Council leader said Wednesday.
"An option is stipulated for the possibility of using nuclear weapons depending on the situation and the intentions of a potential enemy," Nikolai Patrushev told the Izvestia newspaper. "In situations critical for national security, a nuclear strike, including a preventive one, against an aggressor is not ruled out."
