(Worthy News) – Ukraine has launched its first strikes inside Russian territory using U.S.-made long-range missiles, according to Russia’s Ministry of Defense. In response to the Biden Administration allowing Ukraine to use U.S. missiles, Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved a revised nuclear doctrine that eases the conditions for using nuclear weapons.
Moscow reports that following President Biden’s approval, Ukrainian forces launched six U.S.-made ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile Systems) into Russian territory on Tuesday. Russia claims to have intercepted five of these missiles and damaged the sixth, with debris landing near a Russian military facility, causing a small fire but no casualties or significant damage.
Putin has previously stated that allowing Ukraine to use missiles would essentially mean that the U.S. and NATO are “in the war.”
Just before the Ukrainian missile attack, Russian President Vladimir Putin updated Russia’s nuclear doctrine on Tuesday, in response to the Biden Administration’s decision to allow Ukraine to use U.S. missiles. The revised doctrine authorizes the use of atomic weapons if Russia or its ally Belarus is attacked by a non-nuclear actor supported by a nuclear power.
This new policy was enacted on the 1,000th day of the war with Ukraine, just one day after President Biden authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range missiles for strikes inside Russia.
The doctrine states that Moscow will treat “aggression by a nonnuclear state, if supported or participated in by a nuclear-armed state, as a joint attack on the Russian Federation.”
While the revised nuclear doctrine does not guarantee a nuclear response to attacks, it does emphasize the unpredictability of the “scale, time, and place” of potential nuclear deterrent use.
When questioned whether this update was in response to President Biden easing restrictions on Ukrainian strikes into Russia, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov described the timing of the doctrine’s release as “timely,” according to the Associated Press.
