Kremlin warns of nuclear response if Ukraine uses Western missiles against Russia
The Kremlin has issued a warning of a potential nuclear response if Ukraine uses Western-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets within Russia. This statement follows President Putin's approval of a new nuclear doctrine allowing such a response to conventional attacks. Kremlin officials claim that any Ukrainian strike on Russian territory with U.S. missiles would cross a significant line, implicating the West in the conflict. They have also threatened nuclear action against the UK and the U.S. in response to these developments. In a recent attack, Ukraine reportedly struck a Russian ammunition depot, possibly using long-range missiles, marking a shift from previous drone strikes. This comes after the U.S. authorized Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles against Russian targets.
