Kremlin says changes to Russia's nuclear policy are a signal to the West
MOSCOW, Sept 26 (Reuters) -The Kremlin said on Thursday that changes to Russia's nuclear weapons doctrine outlined by President Vladimir Putin should be considered a signal to Western countries that there will be consequences if they participate in attacks on Russia.
克里姆林宫周四表示，普京总统提出的俄罗斯核武器政策的变化应被视为对西方国家的信号，如果他们参与对俄罗斯的攻击，将会面临后果。Putin said on Wednesday that Russia could use nuclear weapons if it was struck with conventional missiles, and that Moscow would consider any assault on it supported by a nuclear power to be a joint attack.普京周三表示，如果俄罗斯遭到常规导弹袭击，可能会使用核武器，并且俄罗斯将把任何由核大国支持的攻击视为联合攻击。The decision to change Russia's official nuclear doctrine is the Kremlin's answer to deliberations in the United States and Britain about whether or not to give Ukraine permission to fire conventional Western missiles into Russia.改变俄罗斯官方核政策的决定是克里姆林宫对美国和英国是否允许乌克兰向俄罗斯发射常规西方导弹的讨论的回应。Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said adjustments to a document called "The Foundations of State Policy in the Sphere of Nuclear Deterrence" had been formulated.克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫表示，已制定出一份名为《核威慑领域国家政策基础》的文件的调整方案。Asked by reporters if the changes were a signal to the West, Peskov said: "This should be considered a definite signal."在被记者问及这些变化是否是对西方的信号时，佩斯科夫表示：“这应被视为明确的信号。”"This is a signal that warns these countries about the consequences if they participate in an attack on our country by various means, and not necessarily nuclear ones," Peskov said.佩斯科夫说：“这是一个警告这些国家的信号，若他们通过各种手段参与对我们国家的攻击，将会有后果，并不一定是核攻击。”The world, Peskov said, was witness to an "unprecedented confrontation" which he said was provoked by the "direct involvement of Western countries, including nuclear powers" in the Ukraine war.佩斯科夫表示，世界目睹了一场“前所未有的对抗”，他称这是由于西方国家，包括核大国，直接参与乌克兰战争所引发的。Peskov said a decision on whether or not to publish the nuclear documents would be made at a later date.Russia's current published nuclear doctrine, set out in a 2020 decree by Putin, says Russia may use nuclear weapons in case of a nuclear attack by an enemy or a conventional attack that threatens the existence of the state.俄罗斯当前公布的核政策在2020年普京的法令中规定，如果遭到敌方的核攻击或威胁国家存在的常规攻击，俄罗斯可能会使用核武器。Asked if rejecting a post-Soviet moratorium on nuclear tests had been discussed as part of the changes, Peskov said he could not answer the question as Wednesday's meeting had been mostly top secret.在被问及是否讨论过拒绝后苏联时期的核试验禁令时，佩斯科夫表示，他无法回答这个问题，因为周三的会议大部分内容是绝密的。
