Russia updates doctrine, in some circumstances attacks with conventional weapons will be considered sufficient to launch nuclear retaliation.
Russia has updated its nuclear doctrine, stating that in some circumstances attacks against it with conventional weapons will be considered sufficiently threatening to launch a nuclear retaliation.
Today is the 1,000th day since Russia attempted a blitz attack to capture Kyiv and other key Ukrainian cities, meeting stronger than expected resistance and logistical difficulties, leading to a bloody near-three year war. Following an apparent signal that the United States in the dying days of the President Joe Biden administration is willing to step up the war by permitting Ukraine to use American long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russia, the Russian Federation has articulated that it could consider such attacks a matter for nuclear retaliation.
Ukraine wasted no time, however, and it is claimed they made their first long-range missile strike on the Russian interior this morning.
