Nikita Degtyarev for PIR Center on Russia's Preemptive Nuclear Use Debate

ONN Research Consultant Nikita Degtyarev an op-ed piece for PIR Center on the preemptive nuclear use debate: ''Political, military and humanitarian factors indicate that the preventive use of nuclear weapons will only lead to a catastrophic weakening of Russia, but will not solve the problems facing the country's leadership. It is better for nuclear weapons to remain a deterrent to existential threats, and there are other tools to solve other problems.''
