President Vladimir Putin has revised Russia’s nuclear doctrine in response to U.S. President Joe Biden’s recent authorization for Ukraine to use American-made ATACMS missiles to strike deep into Russian territory. The updated doctrine now classifies aggression from any non-nuclear state, if supported by a nuclear power, as a joint attack on Russia, effectively lowering the threshold for nuclear engagement.

This change follows claims that Ukraine has already fired these missiles into the Bryansk region, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov emphasized that the new doctrine broadens the definition of aggression and reinforces Russia’s readiness to respond with nuclear weapons if faced with conventional attacks that threaten its sovereignty. The revision serves as a stark warning to Ukraine’s Western allies about the potential consequences of escalating military support, particularly as the war enters its 1,000th day and a new U.S. administration prepares to take office.

Editor’s Note: Despite all the provocations from NATO and its allies, Russia has remained steadfast in preventing further escalation of the war.
