Putin calls for changes to Russia’s nuclear doctrine, widening net for ‘aggressor’ states
President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday presented proposed changes to Russia’s nuclear doctrine, saying a nuclear power supporting another state’s attack on his country should from now on be considered as participating in the aggression. Although Putin did not specifically say that such a scenario would trigger a Russian nuclear response, the doctrine spells out the conditions for which Russia can launch its nuclear weapons and could have implications for the war in Ukraine.
