Vladimir Putin has approved changes to Russia\u2019s nuclear doctrine, setting out new conditions under which the country would consider using its arsenal.<\/p>\n

The doctrine now says an attack from a non-nuclear state, if backed by a nuclear power, will be treated as a joint assault on Russia.<\/p>\n

The update was proposed in September<\/a> and rubber stamped on Tuesday, the 1,000th day of the war with Ukraine.<\/p>\n

It also follows Washington\u2019s decision on Monday to allow Ukraine to fire long-range US missiles into Russia.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Under the changes, a large attack on Russia with conventional missiles, drones or aircraft could meet the criteria for a nuclear response, as could an attack on Belarus or any critical threat to Russia’s sovereignty.<\/p>\n

Any aggression against Russia by a state which is a member of a coalition would be seen by Moscow as aggression from the whole group.<\/p>\n

The updates expand the number of countries and coalitions, and the kinds of military threats, subject to a possible nuclear response, according to state-run news agency Tass.<\/p>\n

Putin has threatened the use of nuclear weapons before, and Ukraine has criticised it as “nuclear sabre-rattling” to deter its allies from providing further support.<\/p>\n

Announcing the change, the Kremlin urged other countries to study the changes.<\/p>\n

“This is a very important text,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, according to Tass, adding “it should become a subject to a very deep analysis”.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Russia warned of “an appropriate and tangible”<\/a> response to US President Joe Biden’s move to let Ukraine use ATACMS missiles to strike the country.<\/p>\n

Such an attack inside Russian territory “would represent the direct involvement of the United States and its satellites in hostilities against Russia”, a foreign ministry statement said.<\/p>\n

Mr Peskov said on Tuesday that the new doctrine was published “in a timely manner” and that Putin had requested it be updated earlier this year so that it was “in line with the current situation”, AP reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
