The doctrine defines potential adversaries as "individual states and military coalitions (blocs, alliances) that view the Russian Federation as a potential adversary" that have nuclear weapons or "significant combat potential of general-purpose forces." ... In addition, the doctrine separately lists military dangers, which "depending on changes in the military-political and strategic situation may develop into military threats to the Russian Federation", for the neutralisation of which "nuclear deterrence shall be carried out". Such threats include: enemy's possession of weapons of mass destruction that can be used against Russia; enemy's possession of missile defence systems, medium- and shorter-range cruise and ballistic missiles, high-precision non-nuclear and hypersonic weapons, drones; the build-up of "general-purpose force groups that include nuclear weapon delivery vehicles" near the borders of Russia or of its allies; the creation of missile defence and anti-satellite warfare systems in space; the deployment of nuclear weapons on the territory of non-nuclear states; the creation of new and expansion of old coalitions and military blocs "leading to the approach of their military infrastructure to the borders of the Russian Federation"; actions of a potential enemy "aimed at isolating part of the territory of the Russian Federation"; enemy actions that could lead to environmental or social disasters; planning and conducting "large-scale military exercises near the borders” of Russia; uncontrolled proliferation of weapons of mass destruction." https://english.pravda.ru/news/russia/161212-putin-russianuclear-doctrine/
