Russia warns of nuclear response after Ukraine strikes with US-made missiles

Russia has warned of potential nuclear retaliation after Ukraine launched US-made ATACMS missiles into its territory, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. The strikes hit an ammunition depot in Karachev, about 75 miles from Ukraine. In response, Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, indicated that Ukraine's actions signal a desire to escalate the war. President Vladimir Putin has amended nuclear laws to facilitate a nuclear response to conventional attacks. Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer suggested that Ukraine may soon be authorized to use British Storm Shadow missiles against Russian targets. This development raises concerns about further escalation in the conflict.
