Putin announces nuclear sharing with allies as Ukraine marks 1000 days of war
President Vladimir Putin has announced a new nuclear doctrine allowing Russia to share its nuclear deterrence with allies. This move aligns with NATO's collective defense principle as Ukraine marks 1,000 days of conflict since the invasion began in February 2022. On the same day, Ukraine launched its first long-range missile strike into Russian territory using an American-made ATACMS missile. This escalation comes amid intensified air attacks from Russia and increased military support for Ukraine from Western nations. The G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro issued a statement supporting a "just, durable peace" in Ukraine, but did not meet calls for stronger backing of Ukraine from some leaders. The situation remains tense as both sides continue to prepare for further military actions.
