But Putin stressed that the Russian government would only use nuclear weapons in response to an enemy attack.

"When we are attacked, we fight back," he said.

He said: "We are not crazy, we understand what nuclear weapons are. Compared with other nuclear countries, the means (nuclear weapons) we have are more advanced and modern. This is an obvious fact. But we will not put this in the world A weapon wielded like a razor."

He also accused international organizations such as the United Nations (UN) and Western media of harboring anti-Russian bias, and Russia was forced to relinquish membership of some organizations because of these apparent biases.
