Russia
Putin signs revised nuclear doctrine
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a revised nuclear doctrine that lowers the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. The doctrine states that aggression from a military coalition against Russia or its allies will be considered aggression from the entire coalition. It also emphasizes that deterrence of aggression is ensured by the military power of Russia, including nuclear weapons. This move comes after US President Joe Biden granted permission for Ukraine to use US-supplied assets to strike deep into Russian territory. This event took place on 11/19/2024.
