Kremlin warns of possible nuclear response if Kyiv uses Western-made missiles

China Daily  

MOSCOW - Moscow's revised nuclear doctrine outlines the possibility of a nuclear response if Kyiv uses Western-made missiles against Russia, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree approving Russia's updated nuclear doctrine on Tuesday. The spokesperson further said that Russia would view the use of Western non-nuclear missiles by Ukraine as an attack by a non-nuclear state with the support of a nuclear state against the country, potentially justifying the use of nuclear weapons by Moscow. Peskov said that the doctrine outlines that "aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state with the participation or support of a nuclear state" would be considered a joint attack.
