dailymail.co.uk

The Kremlin has issued a warning of a potential "nuclear response" if Ukraine uses Western-supplied long-range missiles to strike Russian territory. This statement follows President Putin's approval of an updated nuclear doctrine allowing nuclear weapon deployment in response to conventional attacks supported by nuclear powers. The warning comes amid escalating tensions, as Ukraine reportedly launched a significant strike on a Russian ammunition depot, possibly using long-range missiles. This marks a shift from Ukraine's previous reliance on drones for strikes inside Russia. Russian officials have expressed outrage over the U.S. decision to allow Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles, claiming it implicates Western nations in the conflict. The situation remains tense, with ongoing military actions and threats from both sides.
