Russian President Vladimir Putin announced proposed amendments to Moscow's nuclear doctrine, expanding conditions under which nuclear weapons could be used. In a warning to Western nations backing Ukraine, Putin said that any attack on Russia by a non-nuclear state supported by a nuclear-armed nation would be considered a joint attack, justifying a potential nuclear response. This revision to Russia's nuclear deterrence strategy comes amid concerns over Ukraine's potential use of Western-supplied long-range missiles.
