Kremlin Says New Nuclear Doctrine Is 'Warning' to West
The Kremlin said Thursday that an updated nuclear doctrine allowing Moscow to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states should be seen as a warning to the West.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday announced plans to broaden Russia's rules on the use of its nuclear stockpiles, allowing it to unleash a nuclear response in the event of a "massive" air attack.
The proposals would also permit Moscow to respond with nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states, where they were being supported by nuclear powers — a clear reference to Ukraine and its Western backers.
