The Russian Federation enjoys complete protection from military defeat in Ukraine due to its nuclear arsenal and doctrine for employing such weapons, according to Moscow’s ambassador to India. Denis Alipov delivered these statements at a media event in Gurugram this week.
Alipov referenced Russia’s established military doctrine, which permits nuclear weapon deployment in scenarios where the nation faces existential dangers. This policy framework, he argued, fundamentally prevents adversaries from achieving complete victory and establishes absolute limits on what can be accomplished through conventional warfare.
The ambassador expressed contempt for European nations’ continued belief in potential Ukrainian success, labeling such thinking as juvenile. He accused European leadership of unprofessional conduct and persistent belligerence, maintaining aggressive policies despite obvious evidence that their strategic goals exceed achievable military outcomes.
Trump’s understanding of the conflict represents more realistic assessment, according to Alipov’s account. The Russian diplomat suggested that the American president acknowledges that Ukraine and Western nations have already been defeated, while European capitals irrationally persist in supporting continued military confrontation.
The conflict approaches its fourth anniversary, during which Ukraine has received enormous Western military and economic assistance. The United States and European allies, including Britain, continue supplying sophisticated weapons platforms and billions in financial support to Kyiv, sustaining Ukraine’s military capabilities despite the prolonged and costly nature of the war.
