Russia warns of response after Ukraine uses US missiles in conflict escalation

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned that Ukraine's use of US-made ATACMS missiles marks an escalation in the conflict. He stated that Moscow would respond accordingly to this development. Ukraine reportedly launched six ATACMS missiles into Russian territory, specifically targeting the Kursk region. This action raises concerns about adherence to US guidelines on missile use. In response, Russia updated its nuclear doctrine, indicating a potential nuclear response to conventional attacks that threaten its sovereignty. The new policy suggests that any coalition attack on Russia could be viewed as an attack by the entire coalition.
