Putin Lowers Nuclear Strike Threshold Amid Deep Russian Strikes by Ukraine | N18G

Russian President Vladimir Putin has lowered the threshold for nuclear strikes, allowing their use in response to conventional attacks that critically threaten the sovereignty or territorial integrity of Russia or Belarus. This change follows reports that Ukraine used U.S.-made ATACMS missiles to strike deep inside Russia, with U.S. approval. Russia had previously warned NATO that enabling such strikes would be seen as direct involvement in the Ukraine war. Analysts note this marks a significant shift from Russia's 2020 doctrine, which limited nuclear strikes to existential threats. Despite this escalation, the U.S. has not adjusted its nuclear posture. Department of Defense deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh said that the updates to Russia's nuclear doctrine were not surprising and that they are part of "the same irresponsible rhetoric" Russia has engaged in for the past two years. She said that there are currently no indications Russia intends to deploy nuclear weapons in Ukraine, and no changes to the U.S. nuclear posture are deemed necessary at this time.
