Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a doctrine lowering the nuclear weapons use threshold, threatening retaliation if Ukraine uses Western-supplied missiles to target Russia. This development follows Ukraine’s first US-made ATACMS strike on Russia’s Bryansk region, marking 1,000 days of the war. The Kremlin accused NATO of escalating the conflict, with Dmitry Peskov warning that Western targeting assistance makes them de facto participants. Meanwhile, Russian airstrikes on Odesa killed 8 people. Moscow has hinted at supplying long-range weapons to its allies if Western nations persist in aiding Ukraine. President-elect Donald Trump’s stance on US support for Ukraine adds further uncertainty.
