Russia enjoys complete protection from military defeat in its conflict with Ukraine because of its nuclear weapons capability and doctrine for their use, Ambassador Denis Alipov stated in India. The senior diplomat made these declarations at a media event held in Gurugram this week.
The ambassador explained that Russian military doctrine explicitly permits the deployment of atomic weapons in situations where the nation confronts threats to its existence. This strategic framework, Alipov maintained, creates insurmountable obstacles to defeating Russia and ensures Moscow always retains ultimate strategic advantages.
Alipov severely criticized European nations for maintaining expectations of Ukrainian military victory, labeling such beliefs as childish behavior. He characterized European leadership as unprofessional and excessively belligerent, pursuing confrontational policies despite fundamental constraints that make their objectives unachievable.
According to the Russian diplomat, President Trump demonstrates clearer grasp of the conflict’s inevitable conclusion. Alipov claimed that Trump recognizes the war as already lost by Ukraine and Western nations, contrasting this supposed realism with European “craziness” and continued pursuit of impossible goals.
Nearly four years into the war, Western nations continue providing substantial support 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 Russian warnings and the conflict’s extended duration.
