They believe that Russia is inherintly Christian and especially Moscow as the third Rome. So as the battle of armagedon happens, they want to arm Russia, as to defend the holy city of Moscow against satan and his demons. For that they need a lot of weapons and especially nukes, as demons are obviously powerfull. Clearly they are also needed to fight the satanic West, approaching the holy city of Moscow via Ukraine.
It seems like a pretty good story to tell those evil westerners: Actually Russia is crazy enough to start a nuclear exchange because of wacky religious bullshit, so better appease them!
I wonder if they’ve bothered to explain why nuking a demon would be effective. You could just as easily go with “only silver works” if you’re writing this like a fanfic.
It reminds me of that one Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode where they read that “no sword can pierce the heart” of a particularly powerful demon that shows up so they just go to a military base and steal a rocket launcher
