US and UK criticize Russia's nuclear threats as Ukraine uses Atacms against targets in Russia

The US criticized Russia's recent nuclear rhetoric after President Putin lowered the threshold for nuclear weapon use. This follows President Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to strike targets in Russia with US-supplied long-range missiles. The US maintains its nuclear posture remains unchanged. Ukraine has reportedly used US-made Atacms missiles against a target in Russia for the first time, hitting an ammunition warehouse in Bryansk. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy emphasized the need for Germany to support Ukraine's long-range strike capabilities amid ongoing tensions. The G20 summit faced criticism for its weak communique regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine, marking 1,000 days of conflict. Ukraine's allies expressed disappointment over the lack of a strong strategy, while Denmark announced a new €130 million donation to support Ukraine's arms industry.
