Moscow’s use of nuclear weapons becomes justified as long as the attacks suffered are supported by a nuclear power, such as Ukraine.
Responding to the US decision allowing Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles, Russia has made changes to its nuclear doctrine. The changes promoted by Vladimir Putin, Russian President, define that attacks on Russian territory with missiles or other conventional aerial devices now justify the use of nuclear weapons by Moscow, as long as the attacks suffered are supported by a nuclear power., according to Reuters. This is the case with Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says the aim is to show potential enemies that retaliation is inevitable if Russia is attacked.
The American presidency, led by Joe Biden, allowed Kiev to use long-range missiles in its war effort against Moscow, which will allow it to attack deep inside Russian territory.
Today marks a thousand days of conflict, which began in February 2022 with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the first large-scale war on European territory since 1945.
