    When asked for his response to the exchange Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Saturday, "Read the doctrine. Everything is written there," RIA Novosti reported.

    Russia's nuclear doctrine says nuclear weapons use might follow "an aggression against Russia or its ally with the use of mass destruction weapons" or if the country faced aggression "when the very existence of the state is under threat."



    However, Russia's Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu said last month that nuclear weapons were not necessary from a military perspective and that "the main objective of Russia's nuclear arsenal is to hold down nuclear attacks."

    Peskov, as well as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, have previously said only conventional weapons would be used in Ukraine.

    Russia has around 6,000 nuclear warheads, according to the Federation of American Scientists.

    We can't nuke Russia. All the good looking genes are there. We'll end up with a future filled with ugly children.
