President Vladimir Putin paves the way for broader use of atomic weapons.
President Vladimir Putin has updated Russia’s nuclear doctrine.
Now, if a non-nuclear state – with the aid of a nuclear power – threatens the country’s sovereignty, it will be considered a joint threat, and Russia can respond with atomic weapons.
So what’s behind Putin’s decision? How will it impact the fighting in Ukraine? And how will the West respond?
