Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stark warning to the United States and its allies by signing a new nuclear doctrine. It comes amid growing concerns over President Joe Biden’s U-turn allowing Kyiv to use American-made long-range missiles for strikes inside Russia, sparking a vehement response from the Kremlin.
The newly signed decree by President Putin effectively lowers the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons by Russia.
