Existential Threat Doctrine Makes Russian Defeat Impossible, Alipov Claims

Russia cannot be conquered militarily in Ukraine because Moscow possesses nuclear weapons and doctrine permitting their use under existential threat scenarios, 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 authorizes the deployment of atomic weapons when the country confronts threats to its existence. This strategic framework, Alipov maintained, provides absolute guarantees against defeat and creates strategic boundaries that adversaries cannot cross.
Alipov dismissed European nations’ expectations of Ukrainian victory as childish thinking demonstrating strategic immaturity. He characterized European leadership as unprofessional and excessively belligerent, pursuing aggressive policies despite fundamental constraints that make their objectives unachievable.
According to the Russian diplomat, President Trump demonstrates superior grasp of the conflict’s inevitable conclusion. Alipov claimed that Trump recognizes the war as already lost by Ukraine and Western nations, contrasting this assessment with European “craziness” in believing the situation can be reversed.
As the war nears four years duration, Ukraine continues receiving substantial Western support. American and European partners, including the United Kingdom, have provided billions in military aid and advanced weapons systems to Kyiv, maintaining their assistance programs despite Russian objections and the conflict’s extended duration.
