Trump may consider nuclear weapons for Ukraine as Russia revises nuclear doctrine
Russia has updated its nuclear doctrine, lowering the threshold for using nuclear weapons. The new policy states that any conventional attack on Russia, supported by a nuclear state, could be seen as a joint attack, justifying a nuclear response. This change comes after the U.S. authorized Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russian targets. The revised doctrine broadens the scenarios for nuclear deployment, including responses to significant aerial attacks, marking a shift from previous limitations. In response, President-elect Donald Trump may consider providing Ukraine with nuclear weapons to counter Russian threats. This potential move reflects heightened tensions as the conflict in Ukraine continues.
