The use of nuclear weapons against terrorists is impossible and there is no need for it, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Wednesday.

Lavrov said in an interview with Italian media:

"Of course not, and the president has stated this, that there is no need to use any nuclear weapons against terrorists, as they can be defeated through conventional means, and this is fully in line with our military doctrine."
