A high-ranking Russian official has called on the United States to take note of ongoing discussions regarding the potential revision of Moscow's nuclear doctrine to better align with the changing landscape of international relations.
In an interview with the Izvestia media outlet, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov also mentioned that Moscow is considering the possibility of reducing diplomatic ties with specific Western nations if they do not adjust their "Russophobic" stance towards bilateral relations.
Mr. Ryabkov reiterated President Vladimir Putin's recent statements about the reassessment of Russia's nuclear doctrine, which outlines the conditions under which nuclear weapons may be used. He emphasized that the current doctrine was formulated "in a different era and under different circumstances," expressing hope that the current discussions are being taken seriously by Russia's adversaries.
The Russian navy missile cruiser Varyag has completed training exercises in the Mediterranean Sea, as reported by the state-owned TASS news agency. The navy command stated that the drills were specifically designed to prepare for potential mass sea drone attacks, along with simulated encounters with an enemy vessel and a submarine. These exercises occurred shortly after a Russian naval frigate and a nuclear-powered submarine conducted missile drills in the Atlantic Ocean on their journey to Cuba. The United States will be keeping a close eye on these developments.
Yesterday, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) designated Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte as its upcoming secretary general.
Additionally, Russian pranksters have unveiled a video of David Cameron being deceived into believing he was conversing with a former Ukrainian president.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) disclosed at the beginning of June that there were "several text messages exchanged followed by a brief video call" between Lord Cameron and an individual purporting to be Petro Poroshenko.
In the informal video call shared by the website Guido Fawkes, Lord Cameron touches upon topics such as the Labour Party, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin's incursion into Ukraine.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) revealed in early June that there were "several text messages exchanged followed by a brief video call" between Lord Cameron and an individual claiming to be Petro Poroshenko.
In a relaxed video call shared by the website Guido Fawkes, Lord Cameron converses about Labour, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin's incursion into Ukraine with an individual purporting to be Petro Poroshenko.
Mr. Poroshenko served as the Ukrainian president from 2014 to 2019 and has continued to be a significant figure in the country post his term.
Earlier this month, the UK Government disclosed the prank call to prevent any potential manipulation of video content featuring the former prime minister.
When asked by the impersonator if he foresees any changes post the general election, Lord Cameron mentions that Labour has been "equally supportive" of Ukraine as the Conservatives.
He stated: "I don't anticipate much change. Of course, if they emerge victorious, it will be a new administration, and there will be a learning curve on certain matters, but I believe they have endorsed all our actions.
"I believe that if the Labour Party wins, they will maintain that stance."
Regarding his interactions with former US president and current presidential candidate Mr. Trump, Lord Cameron mentions that the Republican would likely support the winning side in Ukraine, but his stance is unpredictable.
He explains: "I had a meeting with (Trump) and I tried to persuade him not to withhold funds for Ukraine, as the speaker, Mike Johnson, had two objectives: to allocate funds for Ukraine and to retain his position. I felt it was crucial to ensure that Trump supported him adequately, which eventually happened."
