Putin updates nuclear policy to allow retaliation for significant attacks

Russian President Vladimir Putin has updated the country's nuclear policy, allowing for the use of nuclear weapons in response to significant attacks, including drone strikes. This change comes amid the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. The new doctrine states that Russia will view aggression from non-nuclear states, especially if supported by nuclear powers, as a coordinated attack. This marks a shift in how Russia may respond to perceived threats. The announcement follows the U.S. granting Ukraine limited permission to conduct long-range missile strikes on Russian territory. This development occurs after Putin warned Western nations against supporting Ukraine's military actions.
