Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed significant changes to the country's nuclear doctrine, lowering the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons.
Under the new guidelines, Russia could consider using nuclear arms if attacked by a nation supported by a nuclear power, even if the attack itself is conventional. This move is seen as a direct warning to Western nations amid ongoing tensions over Ukraine. Putin emphasized that Russia's nuclear triad remains the cornerstone of its national security and global strategic balance.
The proposed changes reflect Moscow's growing concerns over perceived threats from NATO and other Western alliances.
